Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

"I must apologise for the quality of that programme," said the announcer after the BBC comedy show which I heard on the car radio. I am glad she didn't think it was very funny, either. The agreement between The Daily Telegraph and the National Graphical Association, which has restored my favourite newspaper to me on days when it gets as far as Hertfordshire, has done nothing to release the misprints by Linotype operators who are reputed to earn (correction — to be paid) about £15,000 a year. But what can you expect for that money?

Commercial Motor can take pride in maintaining a high standard. I can recall only two significant misprints and both were many years ago. One was in the caption to a picture of the body of an Eastern National bus being rebuilt and said "Widows are rebedded. . ." The only response, apart from a blasting from the editor, was an anonymous postcard from Norwich.

The other "literalwas one that any transport journal must eventually perpetrate, the celebrated -abnormal invisible load", Even Friends of the Earth could not object to that.
