"Bush begins Hungary state visit"

Well at least that was the headline on the BBC news today.

Most people who write English would be appalled by the fact that either the English speakers in the BBC can no longer spell the word "hungry" or have no idea of correct grammatical usage in which case they should have written "Bush begins Hungarian state visit" or as the article more accurately notes a little later:

"US President George W Bush has begun a state visit to Hungary to mark the 50th anniversary of the country's uprising against Soviet occupation."

If this is what comes from the current generation of literary giants that are being allowed to write articles and /or conduct the proof reading at the BBC these days, then woe betide the future when all of those who are the recipients of good old English education pass their exams only to fail their readers and listeners!
