CBC typos quiz typos

The real error in the quiz has been fixed, so I’ve removed the style that required people to swipe over the hidden answer. Thanks, CBC.ca editors!

There are two more spelling, grammatical, typographical and careless errors in CBC.ca’s You be the editor quiz than the answers indicate. Ironically, one is in the entry that’s purported to be completely correct. (If you’re viewing this in a CSS-capable browser, swipe the empty space below; if you’re not, or if you’re reading the syndicated feed, avert your eyes now!)

  • Question #15 has no opening double-quote (“) for the quotation.
  • Question #20 is more of a think-o, but all’s fair according to the rules: It was the first funeral for any of the victims…. Well, yeah.

Oh, and the answers for #7 and #16 also have typos, although the original questions are correct in this respect: #7 omits the word in in one of its corrections, and there is no opening double-quote (“) for the quotation in #16.

Hey, you make a challenge like that, you’ve got to expect this sort of thing. 🙂
