It’s well grim when subs shred your copy
Welcome to When Subs Attack.
Today’s victim: News Ltd’s TV reviewer Di Butler.
What Jay from The Inbetweeners actually said was that life up north is “well grim”. As in very grim. Not as in, um, grim.
Amazing what a difference the insertion of a couple of commas by a grammar nazi can make…
it’s not a comma nazi but a slang ignoramus. love your commas.

Haha – well grim!
But I wouldn’t blame the subs.
The daily raft of gaffes afflicting news pages is more likely due to the LACK of subs and the poor writing/grammar skills of journalists.
Sad, innit?
