The expert said ".... and after being fraudulently scammed, you may feel untrustworthy with other people".
Eh? The victim is still as trustworthy as ever!

Probably just a slip of the tongue.

The use of the English language by many presenters these days is shocking.

The use of the English language by many presenters these days is shocking.

Sometimes they make repeated errors, but at others I think it’s more a case that they are human, and thinking on their feet, so will just get the wrong word at times. Surely we all do from time to time? Also, knowing that so many people are watching and ready to pounce if they slip up must be quite nerve-racking and make small errors more likely.
