I bloody hate to see newspaper articles where the journalist has been too lazy or in too much of a rush to properly proof-read their work. This has been particularly prevalent in the Irish Independent and Evening Herald over the past few years, with articles missing words, having poor grammar, incorrect spelling, incorrect words with correct words or bad layout.
I know that the layout on the page of any particular piece cannot be and is not the responsibility of the individual journalist, so blame has to be shared across the paper as a whole. It is unfortunate, however, that these people seem to be too heavily reliant on the Auto Correct feature of their favoured word processor, which may perhaps give the correct spelling of a word but in the wrong context. Sometimes, it seems that the poor computer has given up on some pieces.
I'm sure it's not just me...
