I suspect a typical dumbing down BBC again...

Just watched 5 minutes of the 1pm news. American police chief said they
found 23 guns in the hotel and 19 in the home of the shooter, or as the
BBC immediately put it: "over 40 guns", and then the policeman said 515
injured, or as the BBC put it: "over 500".

I suppose when you manage to negotiate a £500,000 salary for reading
the news, you do feel you have the right to treat your viewers who pay
your salary as idiots...


Do you also complain when physics books tell you the speed of light is
about 3*10^8 m/s instead of 2.99792458*10^8 m/s?
