Careless to the Core...


Here's after a long time... Times of India has done it again. This is regarding the Rajya Sabha nomination for Sachin Tendulkar and the comments from people.  I doubt if there is an editor for TOI online.


See the repeated paragraphs. And the same comment has been attributed to two people (see the green lines). Published on 27 April, 2012.

Off the Target

Here is one blooper from Hindustan Times online. This is about the anti-ship version of the Brahmos cruise missile. Most probably, the poor Sub, who was not conversant with defence or missiles understood it as an anti-aircraft 'carrier' missile as against 'anti-'aircraft carrier.


For the uninitiated, an anti-aircraft missile is fired at an aircraft (also known as surface-to-air missile or air-defence missile), while an aircraft carrier is a ship and hence an anti-aircraft carrier missile is essentially an anti-ship missile (AShM), fired at ships.
