In the Culture bit. The last bastion. Sob.

But, separate pedantic question: given that it is a quotation, & presuming that it is an accurate quotation, & presuming further that there are Rules on what & how you can extract from a review ... would you be allowed to make the correction?

Nobody need answer. I just wanted to screech.

I saw the same ad in the Grauniad. I think it must have been churned out by some semi-literate scrote in an agency, and the newspapers are running it without checking.

Yes, you would be allowed to make a correction. Putting [sic] would be a bit daft, given they are boasting about the Star review.

As for the Star, that's what you get from a proprietor who sacks all the subs on the mysterious grounds that 'they just get in between journalists and readers'. Bloody mad pornographer - it's not even as if his loony business strategy actually works. He's running the papers into the ground.
