Ahh BBC "News" it seems every day I have to correct some ridiculous piece of English or misinformation, even when I'm spending every waking hour further investigating Crackergate 2008.
This article contains a case in point.
The piece is about the use of the internet in the London Mayoral election. It contains the sentence:
In a close-run contest in which every vote will count, the prize might just go to the candidate who makes the best use of (the internet).
Now this is a close contest and while I am a scientist, I am not a politicial scientist. Having said that, I'm pretty sure that every vote counting is traditional in all UK elections (including ones for the histoic position of London Mayor).
