Editorial mistakes aren’t the exclusive preserve of the hardcopy media. BBC News Online drops the ball, every now and then.

At least that explains why my internet connection sometimes gets a little sticky.
I was curious as to how they did the “sperm over Internet” thing. USB, PS2? Surely not wifi? Possibly Dropbox.
I couldn’t see the mistake in the first picture and I re-read it twice. I am probably indicative of the state of education in this country today.
