A question of precedent.

Hat tip: Dumbjon, who pointed to this hilarious post from Rottweiler Puppy: Nikki, Warwickshire: Busy at the BBC.

The oft-quoted Nikki was quoted as saying, “Surely the lives of the innocent should take precedent” in her first few outings. Then for “Dozens killed in Lebanon air raid”, someone finally noticed and corrected it to “precedence”. Can’t have such a stalwart commenter looking illiterate, can we?

I have to defend the BBC against one of Rottypup’s claims. Nikki does not appear in “Olmert says fighting will go on.” So it’s only sixteen times, not seventeen.
