Why Do I Read The BBC?

I mean, they have some excellent coverage, but every once in a while they insert a sentence that makes me question what the British education system is doing these days. Like this article about China's revaluation of the Yuan:
However, the announcement by Mr Zhou surprised some analysts for its omission of the Taiwan dollar.
Are you kidding me? Gee, can anyone in the audience think why Beijing might not want to recognize Taipei's right to mint it's own money? (Hint: Minting coin is usually the right of sovereign governments.)

Bloody hell. Is the beeb hiring teenagers now?
