From the Adver's GCSE coverage:
"Alena Bykova got the result she neded at GCSE English"
which is presumably more than the bloke paid to be a journalist reporting on her success would do.

Even a spell checker would pick that up, that's just laziness. As a writer myself, I know how easy it can be to miss something, but there's no excuse for that.

tbf, they're live blogging it, so doubt it's going through a spell checker, just slinging it on a live page, typos can creep in. Quite why you need to live blog GCSE results is another matter. |

Ah, didn't know that.
They're still shit, though.

When you’ve been clogged up, a good clear out is immensely satisfying.

Just overheard my ten-year-old, who usually refuses to speak English, chanting: "I heard that Robert Max went to Rome to see the Pope...". Close enough. #prouddad

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

Finally removing the spider that's been somewhere on my head all morning. Just abseiled in front of my eye.

I got in the car this morning and felt a cobweb brush my head. Later at work I had a strand of web brush my face again, then early afternoon a tiny spider abseiled about an inch in front of my eye. I attract cobwebs, my head is like a stick in a candy floss machine when I walk outside  |
