      Media mistakes

      You are right of course and I am always irritated when I see them get mixed up as a scaling prefix: M for Mega and m for milli. In this case mixing up (m)etre with (M)olar concentration I see as less likely to cause confusion for the average reader.

      Media mistakes

      Listening to this week's In Our Time about life in the universe one of the experts said a new 39M telescope would be four times larger than the currently largest 10M telescope. Surely it would be sixteen time larger, even more if you take the curvature of the dish into account?

      I guess the same kind of technology used to inject "painted ads" onto sports fields that aren't physically there.

      Media mistakes

      You can avoid both those issues by watching all BBC programmes on iPlayer. No Press Red Button clutter, no voice over on the closing credits. Presumably all part of "educating" the viewing masses that streaming is the future and broadcast TV (Freeview/DTT and satellite etc) will be turned off...

      Media mistakes

      In those days the viewers would (mostly) have known where the colours where spotted and it was only when a colour was knocked well away from its spot that extra info was useful.

      Media mistakes

      Were not the on screen presenters painted green to give clearer pictures. A forerunner of the launch of colour on BBC2 using snooker so no longer having to tell viewers the green ball was behind the brown.

      Instead of the hyphen put "say scientists". The word scientists on its own after the hyphen doesn't really mean anything.

      Deadliest weather made worse by climate change - scientists I know I misread what this was saying but not sure the hyphen makes it totally clear what was meant.

      Are you making the assumption that "stationary" means paper products? Edit: Ah! Now I see it.

      EE TV app and DTR-T2000

      A more future proof way of having access to apps is to add an inexpensive Chromecast of Firestick dongle to you set up. That coupled with a Fox T2 would make for a very capable system (instead of a Fox T2 I have and old Digitalstream Freeview PVR which keeps chugging along). Helps to also have...

      Indeed. If you check the online shopping website it correctly shows which beers the club card offers apply to. But the blame does not fall on the lowly shelf-stacker but on the more experienced price integrity checker and the manager.

      That is not a media mistake but a shelf-edge labelling error. There are two labels on the SEL and the top one shouldn't be there though it should for other more expensive beers on the shelf next to it.

      Watched a documentary last where one of the contributors said that they planned to make their city "the epicentre of culture". Presumably that means all the art galleries etc will be sited in subterranean caverns underneath the city?
