Speaking of BBC
Why do columns in the UK correct Footballers' grammar in direct quotes? It's not a direct quote if you're correcting grammar or diction. I've seen interviews on Skysports and read totally different interpretations of them on bbc's website or in the papers--using direct quotes. It's as if we're supposed to believe that footballers aren't stupid and always use proper diction and grammar.
It's something that annoys me about UK press. It doesn't happen in the US, which makes for HILARITY when reading quotes from professional athletes.
