> This is an excellent story
Agreed: I highly recommend it.
> there's usually one glaringly obvious mistake in nearly every single article
An actual mistake or a typographical error? It compares very favorably to the error rate in Donald Trump tweets!
> they never seem to issue corrections,
The Guardian is famous for publishing a "Corrections & Clarifications" column [1], and collected clarifications have even been published in book form [2].
However, typographical errors are rarely included, though they do get corrected on the website.
> so screenshotting is pointless
Yes, screen-shotting is pointless. However, you can email the quoted line(s) and a link to the Guardian global readers' editor at guardian.readers@theguardian.com
Hope that helps!

- smcl 10y agoHaha by "screenshotting is pointless" I meant that capturing a funny moment for posterity is pointless since it'll probably be there for years to come. But yes the whole endeavour was pointless when you think about it.
- scholia 10y agoMy apologies for mis-reading you. I have a bee in my bonnet about (PR) people who send me images of things when I have to retype the contents ;-)
