They still can't get it right. It now says "Opthmalologist" so all they've done is add a 'p'. FFS
Do not be so harsh on them after all it is the BBC so English will without doubt not be their first language and maybe not even their second.
Clearly not. The same people who can't spell ophthalmologist. Beggars belief doesn't it.
Yes. But I'd have problems with ophthalmologist. I'd have guessed at opthalmologist! One occasion when autocorrect might be my friend - even if it is set to US as, unusually, they seem to have the same spelling.
Who knows? But how would anyone needing such assistance locate such a person at the time? Unless they actually know specifically of a person, it is almost impossible for anyone to find a relevant person. Or are you advocating that they should have a database of people and various labels open to all staff?
How do you pronunce that?
They, of course, have a dedicated pronunciation unit and have had for decades. The staff just need to use it, like they need to use dictionaries when they don't know how to spell things. But people are lazier now than they used to be and it seems they rarely bother. Lazy & incompetent management doesn't help prevent standards slipping.
That's my coat, Shirley.
Tell that to some weather presenters.
Not in Kelvin it isn't.
True, but you are never going to see that on the TV news or weather. Even then it's a bit of a meaningless concept to most people, given that almost all of us only experience a very small range of temperatures, so saying something is twice as hot isn't going to help convey any useful information.
And if it was 0 yesterday and 4 today, how much hotter is that?
She undoubtedly does as she apparently has a 1st in Chemistry from Oxford, but has seemingly been lulled into the populist media bull that journos seem to love.
I noticed that, but I'm not sure where (it was a couple of days ago). I guess it was about the re-entry temperature for the current space mission.
Is that true? I would take it to mean half the thermal energy. Is that how Kelvin is calibrated?
