The Telegraph outsourced subbing on the print version to Australia some time ago (taking advantage of the time difference). Don't know if the website is similarly done but it does seem as though they have education problems down under as well.

The misuse of "Your" seems to be the single most common misteak these days...

Oh yes, so they did! And it would make even more sense to move the website there...

Yup, it's overtaken the grocer's apostrophe as the single most noticeable boob.
