@ Shefaly.

Unfortunately, Shefaly, I don’t think you can compare a typo to an error on the scale of the Steve Jobs heart attack one. How many typos wiped almost 10% from a company’s share price?

Well said!

I read the esteemed Financial Times, especially on weekends with a red pen. I discover enough typos to fill a couple A4 sheets. These are from well-paid, professional columnists and journalists.

What is that Christian dictum? Let He Who Is Without Sin Cast The First Stone.

Which is why I do not call FT on those errors, although it is tempting since it will make an amusing (to me) and embarrassing (to the FT) post!

True. We all make mistakes. But I will add that the term “citizen journalist” does not always apply. In many cases, we should ask ourselves: Is this person a “citizen journalist” or are they committing an “act of journalism?” I think there’s a difference. Think about all of the one-hit wonders we love for 8 months before they enter the land of obscurity. I also think that journalists who get so beside themselves about this particular title should get over it. A different tangent somewhat, but I had to go there.
