Mobile Mistakes

I've had intermittent access to the internet, as well as intermittent access to newspapers, and as a result I've been rather absent from Absent Proof of late. Here are some errors I've picked up over the last two days though, having shelled out 3 euros and 60 euro-centimes for each newspaper (a Guardian and a British Daily Telegraph), which is about 5 dollars Australian per newspaper. At that price, they should be silver plated, and they definitely should not contain any errors. Fat chance.

1. '...living Atlanta'?

 2. The article's heading was 'Global Weirding', but I don't think it was supposed to refer to the grammar it contained ('the blame is being out on', 'Queeeensland' twice):



3. 'complaints of' what 'about smell':
 4. If the doctors are as hopeless as the sub-editors, it's not surprising negligence claims are rising in the NHS ('payments are rising because are "high value"'?)
