Sri Lanka’s 2012 Budget, as expected, threw up a fistful of typos. However, these were courtesy of the country’s premier News 1st TV network rather than by the government. If you come across more in other media coverage or the epic budget document, do send them to typoincolombo at gmail.com. Thanks to @nuzster for looking out, as always!
Thought we’d trot out this oldie but goldie via Jehan Mendis. These poems appeared in ‘The Island’ newspaper’s, wait for this, children’s section a few years ago. Correct us if we are wrong but this is probably the worst mistake by a newspaper in Sri Lanka’s journalism history. Check out Jehan’s Ravana blog for more on this glorious fuck up.
