BTW, I gave up because The Guardian has too many typos.
I still love the paper (and I want to work for them), but on an average 30 minute read I find about 2-3 typos. How is that possible with all those copy editors they employ?

The Guardian rebrands the Ulster Voluntary Force as IVF. Interesting.

Typo #10, main article, G2, 21/5/07
Gotta watch for those extra spaces guys! I'm pretty sure a spell check would pick up "someo" though ...

Typo #8, Food Monthly, 26/3/06
Classic. It astounds me that The Grauniad can be so careless with its spell checkers.

Typo #6, unknown page, 28/7/06
It's the advertising copy that's at fault this time. Gretchen Mol is called Gretchen Mol, not Gretchen Moll.

Typo #2, page 3, 14/2/07
Not so much a typo as a really bad formatting error. Those writers (David Leigh and Rob Evans) must be pissed: I would be.
