One of the challenges of being a reporter is that everything you do is looked at with a critical eye by the public.

I can't think of any other job that is like this, especially with the creator's name on it.

So any mistake you make, whether it's a factual error, a word or a name spelled wrong, is noticed by our readers.

I once received an email from a reader who criticised me for using the word 'kid' to describe a child.

"That's what we call a young goat," he said.
