I am more irritated by the atrocious grammar than spelling mistakes. Even the so-called "quality" newspapers don't seem to have a proper grasp of punctuation. I always understood that, at least, A level English was a requirement for a career in journalism. It seems like many journalists today barely scraped a grade C in GCSE.
