[Tech1] F1

[Martin Ridout]

My pet hate is the incorrect use of 'I' and 'me'. John Torrode on 
Masterchef always gets it wrong when he asks contestants to '..create a 
plate of food for Greg and I'. Grrr.

But I do become enraged by the almost universal use of ‘different to’, which should be “different from”. Nobody would make the opposite mistake of saying ’similar from’ instead of ’similar to’! I wrote to Aunty a month or two ago, after a series of errors in a single news bulletin ~ they promised to slap wrists, but it seems to be getting even worse.

Has anyone noticed any complaint or comment in the media about this scandal? F1 gained it's popularity on the BBC where every race was free-to-air and since then Murdoch's greedy Sky have been trying to muscle their way into a big audience show. This year, even Sky's 'no-contract' Now TV are offering a deal ('contract') for all live F1 races for £110 for the season. I also understand that Ch.4 are not allowed pit-lane access! I have lost interest already as Steven Jones is just not the right man to front the show. Cheers, Dave
