Typos and grammatical mistakes in Dawn.com!

Urrrrgh..

OK I know you are founded by ‘Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’…

alright that you are Pakistan’s premier English daily…

fine that you are most quoted journalist voice of country in foreign media…

true that your news are always trustworthy and based on facts and not rumors (unlike Geo, Jang, Express etc.)

not doubt about we all (thousands, may be millions!) hit dawn.com first thing in morning…

and well yea, your new site looks cool!

BUT!!

why typos! and even I would calm myself by thinking journalist was in hurry to file report and proof reader guys were on holidays, but grammatical mistakes! Now this is something!.. I was noticing this from dont-know-how-many days but today I feel I should shout!

Okay we as a nation are following steep down trend in number of areas; economy, politics, judiciary, governance, sports and I agree our problems are huge and I don’t disagree with the fact that ‘our nation stands at a critical juncture’ [btw, I have heard this million times in my 27 years life] but, full stop, does this all means we all should also get reckless in doing whatever job we have to do!

Dawn Guys, get inspiration from quality of Aljazeerah English! Fix these things, remember besides providing news, reviews and entertainments to many like us, Dawn has also been good-tool-for-learning-english for many kids (well yeah, how can I forget those childhood days when parents used to ask us to read dawn….. and then we perusing every word of Young World to impress them with our vocabulary!)

P.S. Just for proof, have a look at this news item: Sharifs disqualified, Punjab under governor rule. Note spelling of ‘with’ as ‘wit’ and grammatical mistake in same sentence.
