That's bizarre - faulty spell check or obsessed sports writer?

That’s bizarre – faulty spell check or obsessed sports writer?

Was on Reddit the other day. Think the general consensus ended up being American writer not getting ‘hooker’ in the rugby sense and went with prostitute instead.

I thought it was a spell check fail and they meant Prop, but hooker makes more sense, presumably they thought Hooker was a US term and needed the british term... 😀

That's superb.. Is it satire or genuine? I like that no ones corrected them 😀

There's a stray "hooker" within the article, made me wonder if it had been done as a joke

Jolly strange. Foreign journalist using google translate?

Yeah, failed regionalisation. You mostly see this sort of thing where one media outlet is tweaking a single story for multiple regions, or where they've bought content from another provider and are changing it for their own audience, copy-and-paste is probably the most important journalistic skill for a lot of places.

Still good though.

I saw one suggestion that it is a site that essentially plagiarizes other publication's content. Thread here
