In reply to matthew.grima@gmail.com. Yes because basic English lessons were wasted on these people. All names must start with capital letters. The fact that a logo is stylised by using all lowercase is meaningless, by that criterion we should print out "Coca Cola" in the exact same font used in the logo.

Another piece of disgusting reporting from the Times.

In reply to el bandido guapo. Facebook is generally written with a lowercase 'f' because of their logo I would assume.

Damn – they should have stuck to ‘Two people’, then give details later in the article.

I’m glad I don’t buy The Times any more.

The Times has been going downhill in the language department for years now. It has come to a point where one can find howlers like this in almost every article.

I remember a time when at school we were encouraged to read The Times and treat it as the gold standard of English expression.

Nowadays I wouldn’t recommend it as a bird-cage liner, let alone serious reading material.

And when I say that the mentality towards women in Malta is Muslim, people think I’m trying to be funny.
