Surely the job description for the caption designer included "must be able
to spell"?

Or maybe it doesn't matter?

Or no-one cares?

The BBC website is little better. 'Miniscule' is a favourite spelling.

I though they were shutting down all the mini scules and replacing them
with a selection of large acadamies... :-)

For your information, the caption is, "Amy Winehouse: Tears Dry On There
Own," so it's the common confusion of 'their' and 'there'. (I assume you can
get your text reading device to spell words out - or does it check grammar
as well?)

Did she spell it Massa-chew-sets?

And in other matters concerning pronunciation, there is no "t" in
Michigan.

There's a sign in Windsor Great Park telling passers by that a
particular tree is a Penduculate Oak planted by His Worshipful the Mayor.

They don't seem to care.

That was the original spelling on Amy Winehouse's album so the caption
spelling was in fact 'correct' in this context!
