The Grauniad always manages to express itself badly. Obviously branching out from its home turf of a near monopoly on spelling mistakes. Apparently the preferred newspaper of the teaching professions........................... God help us.

Should any of us ever feel the urge to go out looking like a twat help is at hand…..

Certainly no urge to look like him. Moreover, how many people would actually know that wearing clothes massively too big for you, was a fashion. As you say, you'd just look like a complete tool wearing them.

Can't abide that condescending, sneering leftie rag.

Private Eye recently highlighted what must be the ultimate two letter word misprunt from the Grauniad website - 'Are you going to vote to leave the UE(sic) or not?' Thinking about it, they might have also written my mobile's predictive text software. Every time I tried to write 'no' it corrected it to 'on' - this despite the fact that a significant proportion of texts are questions, many of which require a simple yes or no answer. Somewhat fewer can be answered with on or off. :blink:

Another irritating facet of modern life - predictive text. Fortunately the latest phones/tablets will auto "correct" the first time you type in a word it disagrees with. But when you delete the replacement and re-type your original, it will hold, and the next time you start the same sequence of words, it will show your word at the top for selection, having remembered it.

If not required, predictive text can be easily turned off.

I got one of the offspring to do this for me. :) Now I can happily hold myself responsible for my own mistakes, as opposed to thinking I have written something which on examination is complete and utter b****cks.
