I wouldn’t rate their article as “terriable” but their rating system may very well deserve that honour.

    Copy-proofing standards at the smh have been dropping and dropping — even in headlines on the front page.

    I haven’t been reading the actual paper, just the online version… I wonder if the copyediting has gone down on its print version as well.

    You will be happy to know this has now been fixed.

    The rating function was made by web developers not editors. Obviously a lot of developers lack the copy proofing standards that writers and editors adhere to .
