Krampus comes but once a year

What a difference a d makes

We have Ann F to thank for sending this one in.

We're still not sure whether it was Mrs Delaney or Mrs Anderson who suffered.

Shooting from the hip

In a recent football match against Huddersfield Town, Gill Swerts, a Notts County football player, was sent off, no doubt for some kind of foul on the field.

I don't think it was this foul though.

They say that your predictive text is based on your own personal typing history, so someone at Sky Sports has a little explaining to do.

Missed opportunity

One of Edmonton's municipal development team may well now be looking for a better opportunity somewhere else.

Sniffing around

The Boston Globe says it has a policy of never deleting its tweets.

I wonder if the staff there realise that 'investifarted' could only have been suggested in auto correct if it had previously been used by the creator.

Now there's an embarrassing story waiting to be told.

And it's never going to go away.

Recipe for disaster

How this one could have slipped though any net is beyond me.

Head lines

When you're reporting about a country that continues to punish people regularly by beheading them, you need to be very wary of how Auto Correct might alter your headline.

Veiled threats

As it turned out, Leeds Rhinos treated Huddersfield Giants to a bit of a mauling.

Harder than ever

The Large Hadron Collider has been out of the news for a couple of years while it's been shut down and upgraded.

But now it's back with double its previous capacity.

And with it, the same old headlines from BBC News which, clearly, hasn't matched the upgrade to its spell-check system.

Lyfting standards

I can understand it - just about - when people confuse your and you're.

(Just a reminder: It's the difference between knowing your sh-t and knowing you're sh-t.)

But what I, and Jon C I think, find particularly infuriating is the inconsistency shown by some people.

Shame, because Lyft seems like a really good idea.

Less of your sauce

I know that Salsa is a great way of achieving weight loss.

But not, as I thought, Salsa dancing.

No. Apparently, it's the sauce.

You can stick your jaws together with it.

Priest hole

Sheltering no less than 25 of them.

Well, I have heard that such work can be exhausting.

Durga Mata

Thanks to football fan Ann F for this one.

I guess Juan Mata, the midfielder who plays for Manchester United,  should be relatively happy with the nickname the NBC subtitles department has given him.

He could have been Mary Jane.

At least NBC was right on one count.

He was out on the grass.

Predictive text

I ordered some stationery from Ideal Envelopes the other day and received this message from DPD, the delivery service that Ideal uses.

I have to say that the Predict online tracking system is nothing short of excellent. You can follow your DPD delivery van on its route and the web page shows you on a map exactly where your parcel is in the delivery queue.

So Predict's ability to provide an accurate delivery time is brilliant.

But Predict's ability to provide a meaningful email header?

Far from Ideal.

Nick R's in a twist

Looks like the BBC's Political Editor, Nick Robinson, became rather over excited at the prospect of more women joining the Cabinet yesterday.

Indefinitely

Thanks to Margaret C for sending in this ad which she found in Items for Sale or Swap in Market Deeping on Facebook.

Market Deeping?

It's very close to Peterborough.

And, if anyone says otherwise...

The Lotus disposition

Allow me, if you will, to put you in the picture.

Narendra Modi is an Indian politician representing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). More than that, he is the prime ministerial candidate of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance in the general election to be held later this year.

The BJP's symbol is a lotus flower.

Here's what he tweeted.

Probably not the wisest way to describe your colleagues.

Oh wait. I'm forgetting.

They're politicians.
