Why u being so petty
This whole post is deliciously petty.
Don’t be acting that way, you make mistakes too. Grow up.
Distraction
Seriously?
I have come to realized that the all the media House in this country wants to be the first to break the news… so without checking for your dots and tees.. you just post… SMH
Seriously? Dem de hab more nerves dan wan pig.
I thought it was a legit job post until I came here. Waste of my time!
But they do need a proof reader!
Needs to be said! ANR is a news source of poor quality and I applaud 268today for having addressed that. Adding insult to injury the majority of the reactions here are disconcerting as it shows how accustomed our country’s folks are to mediocrity. Lawrdy! Reading some of the responses *mek mi head hat* just like in the scribe certain people defend, you find numerous spelling errors, missing punctuation *cyan dun*. You should encourage the unfortunate writer – and yourself also while you at it – to strive for a higher better standard. Instead you are calling it petty or resort to silly attacks – YES I make mistakes too but not 4 in 2 lines plus I am not a journalist who’s job it is to write!! Get it??
