And another thing...

From the Daily Mail:

Aware that News of the World staff might use their final edition to fire a parting shot at her, Rebekah Brooks is said to have instructed two senior executives to read the paper with a ‘fine toothcomb’.

Now, I don't know if that's the Daily Fail's error, or Rebekah Brooks' error. And it's not the first time I've seen it. But really, guys...

Do you comb your teeth? No.
So is it likely that a toothcomb is a thing? No.

It's a fine-tooth(ed) comb, you idiots.

They clearly didn't look at the crossword very carefully. Seem to be a few pointed references: eg.
"Woman stares wildly at calamity" - DIsaster

(and I also love how the equating of Woman with Di carries on to the bitter end.)
