Geography With The 'Telegraph'...



This comes from a reader, who points out 'It’s ‘capital’ not ‘capitol’ and in Malawi the capital is Lilongwe, and has been since 1974. Prior to that the capital was Zomba. Although I lived there, in Lilongwe, pre-and post independence, it’s not hard to find this information on the web.'

Indeed not, but clearly, that's not in the job spec for a journalist any more...

The internet editions of every newspaper, national and local AND the Beeb contain atrocious abuses of the language on an ever increasing daily basis.

I saw SLEEZE today in the Mail online!
