Indian Media Bash Blog

This was first written about here. However, they have such a lousy copy desk which is totally inexcusable. I list the ones which I found were atrocious mistakes to commit.

1) A write up on Blogging platforms.

This mistakes are:

The good news is that this exclusivity comes at a price that does not pich the pocket. Also, check out sitemeter.com for a way of adding basic statatistics to your existing blog.

These include software like wordpress or movable type, which are available free.(No capitals to introduce names! Note the word “are” instead of “is”)

2) One post dealing with speeding up Windows.

Note caption to the picture:

NO MORE HANG UPS: Using Hack could help you spped up the Windows experience.

Form the 1st paragraph on the same URL as above:
Work is piling up and you have to get that excel sheet ready…(Note the lack of punctuation for “excel” which should be “Excel”)

Another major blunder for which any self respecting English teacher would rap their student’s knuckles. This post deals with ending the work permits of Doctors in United Kingdom. This is what the “journalist” has to write in:

Associations of Indian doctors are asking the dept ((???)) of health to come up with fairer and phased regulations. But for the 1000s ((???)) of docs already within the system, options are running out.

The emphasis in block quotes is mine to point out such a howler which is absolutely unpardonable; specially when you are aiming to be “professional”.

This is bad enough.

Can anyone forward this to Mr. Rajdeep Sardesai please? I would be glad to let him know what’s going on behind his back!
