Where have all the sub-editors gone?

For the second time in a week I have read that the police tried to “ diffuse” a situation. Did they just spread the problem around? The meaning of “ defuse” is quite clear and is a very good metaphor, let’s keep it!

Looks like they rely on a subeditor called Micro$oft "spell checker". But we're still waiting for someone to develop a software package called "sanity checker". Probably a shortage of suitably qualified programmers (ie; sane)

But they could have been dealing with an dense situation.

Got rid of them years ago. Hoping for quality journalism is like whistling in the dark.
