Sicness
reined, not
reigned. Minus two points for changing

Lest anyone consider me petty and pedantic for occasionally drawing attention to the BBC's minor editorial oversights—typographical errors, that is, not stealth editing—you're right, I am. But, I'm not alone.
BBC News itself—or one of its reporters, Natalie Sherman—is not above the same trick. Double-reporting AOC's tweet affords her the opportunity to highlight her typo, although she dropped a couple of pedantry points by not only overlooking the wayward apostrophe, but actually correcting the error!
Honestly, you wouldn't think that copy/pasting text from a tweet would be so challenging, would you? (SMH)
"Daily reminder that Ticketmaster is a monopoly, its [sic] merger with LiveNation should never have been approved, and they need to be reigned [sic] in," wrote left-wing congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "Break them up."

If you're gonna be a pedantic smart-arse, Nat, at least try not to do such a half-arsed job of it.
