You spelt road wrong “with temporary raod closures in place from 5: 30am until 2pm.”
We didn’t spell it wrong – it’s called a typo – human beings make them – and even miss things proof reading!
I guess that’s why a spell check is important before publishing 🙂 Short key is F7
We do – but sometimes they get missed – we are human and make mistakes!
It doesn’t take away the fact that you have spelt road wrong. On an article specific to road closures. Keep up the good work.
I think the lesson we can all learn from this article, is that proof reading is key. More importantly the correct spelling is road, not raod.
There is a huge difference between a spelling mistake and a typo – a spelling mistake is when someone doesn’t know how to spell a word. A typo is when the wrong key is pressed by accident and then a tired human brain working around the clock, providing a free news service, misses something. Most people politely PM us to highlight the issue which we then rectify, as we have in this case. Thank you for appreciating our good work. You won’t find many other media of any kind as responsive to its readers as us.
