TEACHING THE EDITOR TO SPELL
I am all too aware that spelling and grammar on The Bangkok Bugle isn't always the best - even with the help of a spellchecker. But it was with great amusement and satisfaction that I noticed a rather bad spelling mistake (the word potato with a mysterious 'e' on the end) on a blog written by the editor of a newspaper back in the UK.
Normally I would have just chuckled to myself and not said anything, but this particular editor just happened to be my first ever editor in journalism, and I knew he would take my reply in good spirit. (He actually said I was eagle-eyed even when I was a photographer for him, which was nice).
Don't worry Adrian Seal, editor of The Uxbridge Gazette, your secret is safe with me.

Someone's being too c.o.c.k.y here. Secrets's not safe when you put it in your blog. I am sure I can find a few spelling mistake in here (ha hah a)
Hi Christine. I was being sarcastic - I know there are lots of 'miss steaks' in my blog. And I also know that Adrian doesn't mind - here's said pretty much the same thing on his blog.
