Belfast Telegraph style guide updated with new spelling for Niorthern Ireland!

Niorthern Ireland - using the Belfast Telegraph spelling!

Quick ... could someone run around to the Belfast Telegraph and turn on their spell checker. While the occasional spullingz mistake slips into AiB, there’s a higher standard expected from regional and national newspapers. And a particular emphasis on spelling place names correctly.

Update 8.45am- the headline has just been fixed, but you can still see "niorthern" in the URL!

Given that you are only travelling from Lisburn to Belfast and back I would only pick up poetry and short story anthologies if I were you. But, I too think its a great idea... Unfortunately they don't do it on the 4a Metrolink bus!
