This epic Guardian headline may be the typo of the year

They published an article “ranking the TV commentators”. There was just one problem.

THIS MORNING, THE Guardian published a ranking of cricket commentators from the recent Ashes series between England and Australia.

Except there was a slight problem with the headline.

(No, the main issue isn’t “more scratchier”.)

Postcript: The mistake has now been fixed. A Guardian moderator wrote in the comments:

No, we wouldn’t have had a catastrophic typo like that on the front page, that would have required monumental stupidity resulting in someone being laughed out of the office and forced to hide in the toilets weeping for 30 minutes.
