on April 9 I believe the word early should have been between half-hour and for, but that's just my best guess. It'd be nice if professional writers did some proofreading so readers didn't have to make any guesses. Then,

Typographical error: "An error while inputting text via keyboard, made despite the fact that the user knows exactly what to type in." (Dictionary.com) Typing .ca instead of .com is not a typo. Then,

on April 26 loses should have been losses. See the article for proof - "With his legacy in the balance, Michael Bisping is still searching for that elusive major victory". Lastly,

on April 28 there was was a repeated word. Click an image to enlarge it.
