I've been noticing a heck of a lot of typos and spelling errors in reports lately - even in the headlines.

Use a word processor, with spelling AND Grammar turned on, then cut and paste titles, captions and story.

As it is Demotix seems to work in English,,,

Is it worth having an optional box for "local language title" as well as the English one?

Remember more hast less speed. It is better to slow down and get things right than rush and get it wrong.

A Demotix reporter was complaining bitterly that Demotix did not sell his hot pictures when he did not bother key wording and tagging because he "did not have time". Not having time meant no Demotix sales.

btw I think ewe are wrong about the grauniad: It wus the sun wot done it. Smile

PS... Now the News of the World has gone I have to start listening to my own phone messages.

Yes, I think you've trivialised the subject sufficiently BB.
