People send me stuff. The name “Grauniad” as defined by Urban Dictionary says:
The Grauniad is a nickname for the UK national newspaper, the Guardian, because of a now ill-founded reputation for typos. The name was given to it by the satirical magazine Private Eye. The Guardian newspaper earned its reputation for lots of misprints in the days of hot-metal printing when it was published in Manchester (it was originally called the Manchester Guardian), and the editions that appeared in London were very early editions brought down by train, before all the errors had been spotted.
And so it goes today. Lost in Lima, will they ever find it?
Yes, if you find it somewhere in the midst of “the pause”, please point it out.

Hey, is that a simple Gruniad typo I see, or one of the most revealing Freudian slip of all time 😉

“Grauniad” also manages, with not much strain, to evoke Alexander Pope’s satirical masterpiece, “The Dunciad”, written in the 18th century to parody Grub Street scribblers of little talent. Says Wiki:
“The poem celebrates the goddess Dulness and the progress of her chosen agents as they bring decay, imbecility, and tastelessness to the Kingdom of Great Britain.”
The “-ad” suffix here means a work of an epic nature.. which, goes a long way, in the case of Ms. Goldenberg, towards explaining her epic search for climate, or climate change, or even her own hat, “by the end of the year.”
Point 6: Unstated but the moat important.

If you try to point out to the Guardian that the change is occurring all the time and within a lower than usual noise figure and is conforming to the long term (thousand year) pattern you will be banned from commenting.What is more the changes are regional and quite significant while the global average change is quite tiny. Both are however clearly cyclic to any trained in signal analysis rather than climate studies self glorified as climate science
Delicious. Eat your heart out, John Cleese and the Pythons.
`On a point of accuracy, the typographical errors in the UK MSM have, in fact, been on the increase in the past 10 years, despite introduction of digital technologies. This is due to the cost-cutting era removing sub-editors and the assumptions that junior, relatively untrained staff, are capable of editing their own typing correctly.
You can see clearly where cut and paste/deleitions have taken place when half a sentence runs into a different half sentence. This is a daily occurrence at all the main MSM ‘broadsheets’ and shows that human error is not covered up satisfactorily by WP ‘semi-human computer programmes’.
Nancy Pelosi: “we have to find Climate Change to see what’s in it”
Oh where, oh where did my climate change go, oh where, oh where can it be
With it’s funds cut short and it’s peers exposed, oh where, oh where can it be
Yes, for decades now the Guardian has been known as the Grauniad. But these days with its ever more leftwing slant, eg save Islam from the wicked west, it has be come known as the Groaniad.
Even more worrying is the tilt now being seen in the Telegraph. Yes, it is trying to out groan the Groan, as it were.
Ask Buckaroo Bonzai. Climate change is probably in the 8th dimension.
