I was browsing, at my absolute leisure, the Cape Argus of yesterday and came across the Matric Matters supplement which is supposedly supposed to be a learning aid or something like that for Matric students. Now owing to the quality of editors and sub editors and the like, we have ended up with QUITE a supplement!

Clearly the recession has meant a great deal of cutbacks, and this even stretches to the spelling and grammar department of the Cape Argus supplement which is proudly brought to us by Liberty Life. I obviously didn’t read the whole thing because it’s not remotely interesting to my frazzled mind, but I did spot these three mistakes while literally scanning the supplement for a minute:

Back page of supplement: “Even i you”

Wordlwide? Well done guys, nice one.

Amogst? Really? 

I don’t even want to know what I would find were I to read the entire supplement. My ears would most likely start bleeding and porridge would come spewing out of my head.

It’s that bad.

But at least with Cape Argus and Liberty Life we have a place where kidz can lern 2 read good and do other thingz good to.

Because there’s more to life than being really ridiculously good looking.
