This is just unacceptable and unnecessary:


Baillieu goverment faces a drubbing: poll

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/baillieu-goverment-faces-a-drubbing-poll-20130104-2c7om.html

The link is wrong too because the Age uses the titles automatically 
in their stories. And it's wrong on the home page of the paper. The 
word 'government' is spelt correctly in the body of the story. I 
wonder if this sort of error is due to the outsourcing of sub-editing 
by Fairfax. I've noticed more and more problems with their story 
headlines since they sacked their staff subbies.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
