Tesco apologises for baby clothing slogan errors
Ben Kendall/PA
Supermarket chain Tesco has said it will brush up on its spelling and grammar after making two mistakes in a single pack of baby clothes.
The parents of three-month-old Alexander Kendall, from Norwich, spotted the errors after being given a set of five bodysuits from the store.
One bore the slogan "I was born awsome" (sic), while the other read: "Daddys little man" - missing an apostrophe.
Tesco apologised after Alexander's father shared the errors on Twitter.
'More pedantic than most'
It offered a refund or exchange and said: "Sorry about this, we've made our suppliers aware of this so it can be corrected for future stock."
Mother Sophie Kendall, 28, said: "We both work as journalists so are perhaps a bit more pedantic about these things than most.
"Fortunately Alex is a long way off being able to read so we'll just use the suits and hope nobody notices."

Joan Rivers was a pointed, pioneering comedian
"I want Craft services, I want paparazzi and I want publicists making a scene! I want it to be Hollywood all the way," she continues. "I don't want some rabbi rambling on; I want Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents."
RIP Joan Rivers. Being publicly told that my dress is hideous will never feel quite as awesome. You will be truly missed.

Women outnumber men in Spanish government
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has named a new
cabinet following the re-election of his Socialist party on March 9.
The new government includes for the first time more women than men and
a female defence minister. Zapatero said at a news conference to
announce the new lineup that "equality between men and women" would be
one of the chief goals of the new government. Zapatero has also
appealed for a cross-party strategy to fight the armed separatist group
ETA, which has killed 800 people in its nearly 40-year campaign for an
independent Basque nation encompassing parts of northern Spain and
southwestern France. Earlier, Zapatero took the oath of office in front
of King Juan Carlos at the royal Zarazuela Palace near Madrid.
