Websites are like takeaway menus. They are written too quickly, checked too sloppily and will always contain at least one glaring error.
The Beeb's newsite is terrible for it.
I have always been tempted to contact them and offer them my proof reading skills. £5 for every mistake I find. It might keep them on track. I always want to proof read for takeaways as well - one dish of my choice to check the menu before any money is spent on printing. Not a bad deal. I've never had the front to try it though.
And sadly - most of the customers (of either) never notice anyway.
