So, Q magazine spelt the Arctic Monkeys name wrong on their kinda undeserved award for Best Band On The Planet (or something). Now the subbing is normally pretty good on Q – better than the choice of bands they cover anyway – so how come ‘Arctic’ came out as ‘Artic’? Well, for some reason no one can spell this terrible but simple band name right. I was guilty of missing out that pesky c when they first arrived too, so this isn’t a bit of finger pointing, but we see it misspelled everywhere – from shop windows to The Guardian. A mystery for sure.
Incidentally what is going on with the Q Awards categories? Q Lifetime Achievement, Q Merit, Q Inspiration, Q Idol, and Q Icon? What is the difference in all of the above? Answers in the comments section please.
