1.1    INTRODUCTION

This study involves errors that can be found in some newspapers in Sierra Leone. The study was conducted between the 9^th and 13^th September, 2013.  These errors can be broadly categorized into lexical and grammatical errors. They are underlined and their correct forms are given in brackets.

1.2    LEXICAL ERRORS

The errors in this category are phonologically and learning induced.

There is an old dictum in many newsrooms especially in developing countries which goes thus: "You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps." As an up and coming journalist you could wonder how this could be so. It is largely in the way things can be chaotic and rowdy in newsrooms to the extent madness can take the best of those working there.

By Rev SM Williams

By holy matrimony the soul of the contracting parties are joined and knit together more directly and immediately than their bodies , not by any passing whim of either sense or spirit but by a deliberate act of the will and from this union of souls by God’s decree a sacred and inviolable bond arise.

- Pope Pius xi
