I'm steaming!

A BBC post typo made me laugh... Does this include R3 trailers which make me steam?

Cat food and DVDs lift inflation
Dearbail Jordan, Business reporter

Want someone to blame for higher inflation? How about cats?
According to the ONS, cat food contributed to the surprise increase in prices.
For some reason, it categorises feline grub under "recreational and cultural goods and services" and in the year to December, these prices rose by 6%. This was an increase from 5.5% in November.
Given it was, for many, the Christmas season, prices for computer games, consoles and toys rose. As did DVDs which, in this age of steaming, is perhaps a surprise.
Meanwhile, prices for theatre tickets - Christmas pantomimes? - also increased as did the cost of package holidays.
The ONS cautions that "short-term movements in some of these categories should be interpreted with a degree of caution as the movements depend upon the composition of best seller charts".
Though we'd love to know what people are feeding their cats.

I wonder why the cat photo is "A cat yesterday". Is the-day-before-yesterday's cat not newsworthy?

More relevantly, BBC Online has become the new Grauniad. I often right in to point out there mitsakes.

We were once referred to in that vein by one of our early ill-wishers (not the Beeb, though).

Not in journalism. When I was working on an evening paper we were instructed never to include the word yesterday in the intro. 'Today' was fine, but if it was necessary to include the Y-word, bury it somewhere.

Steams up in the Arctic as well it would seem...This, from a Guardian weather article (my bold)

The shifting polar jet stream is shooting cold air at the UK straight from the Arctic. While there is a hot and a cold side to the steam...

Or plurally in a Otto Harburg lyric to Jerome Kern’s dots!
