Its quite obvious they are taking the mick because breakdown is spelled "brakedown".

Were ITV 'taking the mick' with this caption last night?

Broadcasters do seem to be getting slack with their spelling. At the weekend, TMF had a DOG promoting 'Dubut Videos'. Rolling Eyes

They could have gone one step further and put an apostrophe in Videos to make Video's..... an opportunity sadly missed......

This is because the generation of people who post on internet forums in language that is barely legible (and who berate anyone who points out their errors) are now old enough to get real jobs.

To those of you who say it's not important and that it doesn't matter - I promise it is, and it WILL affect your career.
