Ha ha. Simon was clearly embarrassed by JNugent pointing out the spelling error he posted. Simon is insecure about looking thick, and JNugent touched a nerve, as he so often does with him.

I had copied and pasted it from the already written piece in Cycling Weekly. What I normally then do is then proof read it and put (SIC) after any obvious errors. This time I only spotted it AFTER I had posted it and couldn't be bothered to delete it and then repost it with the (SIC) addendum.

The entity you are referring to has been in a killfile since 2010 and so I could not have read their piece. The blame lies with Michelle Arthurs-Brennan of Cycling Weekly, not me.

I did put a (SIC) after Judith's stratum/strata error though.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions about the spelling error being in
some original which you had simply copied.

So a "Cycling Weekly" person thinks that "periphery" is spelled
"perifory", eh?

It shows you what sort of half-educated people write for it. It isn't
even defensible as a typo (which, of course, we all make).
