Ok then. Did The Times get it wrong?

I spotted this about a year ago and still wondering about it.

Very sad I know.

"every parents' worst nightmare"

What do you think?

Wrong.

hmm yes it is wrong. because it is every single parent's worst nightmare. not ltos of parents

wrong.

They all get it wrong all the time. Some misprints are more inspired than others though. I saw a "breach" birth in the times a while back which did make me lol.

Another wrong. You can't have multiple everys, if you see what I mean. They do have an apologies column (or used to anyway) so maybe they had to grovel a few days later

That's exactly what I thought - you can't have anything plural after the word 'every'.

I think.

CTR I like the cut of your jib

so to burst any bubbles, but a paper would never correct something so minor as a misplaced apostrophe.

The corrections/apologies are usually for absolute clangers (like getting a country's capital wrong, or mis-spelling a world leader's name), or errors regarding people's personal details that risk hurt or legal action.

that should have been "sorry" not "so"! Over-enthusiastic delete key on my keyboard...

Oooh BALD I've just googled that - I know - I'm ill-educated (but live as far away from the sea as is possible in this country - feeble excuse).

But I like it lots, and, of course, ditto.
