For those of you in need of emergency lesson materials can I commend The Jakarta Post? So useful for those 'spot the mistake' warmers.
After last week's "Eight years after 9/11'' article (that would be the 2001 attacks...), today they have gone one better, managing to spell 'bill' as 'billl' on the front page headline.
Roll on the new English language paper due out soon. The only way is up... |

Totally agree with you on that. Someone at work picks out mistakes in the Jakarta Post every day 
Its also embarassing that the DOS (who's Indonesian) cant even speak english properly.
He told the native speaker teachers last week, just was we were going to classes...
Have a nice teaching......  |

Newspapers aren't entitled to mistakes: words are their stock in trade. |
