One of my former colleagues Sunday Times, Liz Gerard just resurrect his blog, subscribe. It is a must for those who are wondering what sub-editors do and why they do it.

His work was "A little knowledge" in a short story published in several newspapers with a score of 16 161 in Marbe Lauren Mensa IQ test, a joy reading.

collected three unreliable - patronizing references to a pretty blonde Essex, failure to declare the type of IQ test took Lauren and especially the assertion that Lauren was a score points higher than Albert Einstein (examples here and here and here).

Einstein never took an IQ test. Not more than many other people mentioned in the stories, such as Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin. Neither, apparently, can we be sure that Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates, two others said they had 160 accounts received testimony either. Therefore, there is no story below.

also congratulate the publication: "Why local area newspapers," which was written almost a year ago, but still very relevant in these times of cuts in the regions.

A nugget of fact, it will open your eyes to the wonders of the past

also shows that being a sub is not only correct grammar and writing a title. It is hard to be skeptical about the whole copy and its underlying assumptions.
