Lost In Translation - EURSOC - News and comment from Europe

Lost In Translation

By

EURSOC Two

The Guardian's reliance on AP newsfeeds is both inexplicable and irritating, not least for its readers, most of whom appear to be fanatic anti-Americans.

But sometimes even US-friendly readers like EURSOC are confused by the headlines AP stuffs on the Guardian's front page. Look at this one. What the hell is "Razzing?" and why the hell does Mrs Obama like to do it to her husband? We can think of downmarket porn mag Razzle, hope it has nothing to do with that.

Oh, right. Even after checking the story, it seems to be a cross between nagging and teasing.

Soon the Guardian will need subtitles for its British readers.
