I am a pedant but a closet one so rarely comment but did anyone notice today when the news of delayed driving tests was a topic on the BBC the wording on screen was

Driving test delays of 5 moths. 😀

Surely you can't "do" an oops? 🤔

That’s more a typo tho surely

I live in a swing Lib Dem/Tory constituency and when the national BBC news was covering them and who was running they put the Lib Dem candidate's name twice, next to both the Lib Dem and Tory logos, on the full screen display, and left the Tory's name out completely.

Just a typo, couldn't get excited about it tbh

An example of Muphrey's Law.
