The Daily Mail Mix-up
– ascend the thrown?
By Chong Beng Lim
When I was just
savouring the article on mail online about 150,000 Thais mourning for their
recently demised monarch, Bhumibol Adulyadej , I stumbled upon this glaring
spelling error by the UK Daily Mail.
Here is the written
text:
“The government has
said Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn will ascend the thrown soon but he had
requested that his succession be delayed for an unspecified period, so he can
grieve with the people.”
What a howler! LOL!
