In an editorial at the NYT today, by (ahem) the Editorial Board, I found this sentence:
Tacky. Really tacky.
Recently, NBCUniversal, a division of Comcast, recently invested $200 million in BuzzFeed, the digital media company.I mean, seriously. No editor or copy editor at the entire New York Times noticed the double-use of "recently" in that sentence? And you know, I might not have mentioned it but this error is online. How hard is it to correct an online error? (Answer: not hard at all.)
Tacky. Really tacky.
