"Nearly 35 of the electorate didn't vote" - high turnout

possibly this should read

"Nearly 35% of the electorate didn't vote"

I think it lost something in subbing.

Isn't there a forum to put typos in so they can be corrected?

Yes, there is, it's called Feedback Editorial.

There's an error I posted there 8 days ago that still isn't fixed, and there's some errors I pointed out there that got responded to right away. I think it's worth posting typoes here, too.

Whoops, I typed that too soon. It got fixed a coupla days ago.

It used to be the case that new entries postings were reviewed within a day and typos mentioned there were corrected (which is why I try to include 'typo' in the thread title, as a heads-up) I tend to use <./>Feedback-Editorial</.> for ones I notice later. Never seen any explicit instruction on where best to post typos - the advantage of posting on the entry is that the author gets to see the comment, and may wish to similarly edit their own ex-PR version.

I remember reading somewhere (in the post-Petunia announcement?) that Feedback Editorial was what we were requested to do, now that there are so few staff.

Has it been fixed?

Hi there. I've fixed the typo now - thanks for pointing it out. Generally speaking, on the day an entry is published on the front page, if you notice any typos or anything else that you want to bring to our attention, just post underneath the entry itself. We *usually* get these. I mean, to be doubly sure, you could also post in Editorial Feedback, but posting underneath on the day of the entry is normally a pretty safe bet. If, however, and for whatever reason, we miss a comment you have made underneath an entry on the day of its publication, just drop us a line in Editorial Feedback. We'll pick it up from there.

Thanks! Now I know.
