RTE Website spelling mistakes!

brousuka · 24-04-2011 01:07PM #1

This is happening way too much, our national broadcaster is again making basic spelling mistakes on it's pages take this for example: "JEWARD EXCITED ABOUT FEIS AND BLOOD FINAL" printed on the main page at 9am this morning (since rectified after complaint) and then on the weather page: "SHOWERS IN MORE ESATERN AREAS LATER". (still printed at time of this post) I mean come on!

Nor will they get help from your post

Really? Oh My God. I mean, seriously. They should be ashamed. You're so right on this. Call the papers. Won't someone please do something!

Think of the children and their learnings!!

They've heard all the answers and none of them work.
Could you live with the shame.................... blah, blah blah.

I wouldn't have high expectations of RTE, but I do boggle a little at Irish Times errors.

The RTÉ headquarters are about 1/4 mile from University College Dublin. Need I - a UCD student myself - say more?

(Now let's see who remembers to put the fada on the É ... )

There are steps you can take OP, above and beyond complaining.

There is nothing wrong with expecting good standards from our news reporters...

This is hilarious! Only last week Pat Kenny was telling teachers how easy it is to teach grammar to children. Maybe he should set up a spelling class for his colleagues?

POTATOE!!!

Caught a glimpse of it the other day. I think it's a search for Ireland's most talented family or something. Yes, shudder. I had an image of gladiatoral battles at a céilí - most disappointing

It's a TG4 programme, trad musicians and 'Irish' and sean nos dancers, that sort of thing.

I'm not sure what a flesh and blood final is, tbh. It's odd syntax.

It could be something else.

24-04-2011 02:36PM

Oh lord, I didn't notice the mistake was in "jedward". It's having a fnord effect on me

I assumed it was in "feis and blood"!

Nevermind folks, nothing to see here!

RTE Website spelling mistakes!
