The above link, the title it says, is that a spelling mistake or is it in context as the editor is claiming?

He insists is in context, but its a mistake isnt it? or maybe im not seeing something?

I think it should read:

"Football fans urged to stop homophobic abuse at matches"

His reply to my email:

Quote:Just read it Saraj, it can work in both contexts I feel. Homophobic
abuse can be a problem at football grounds, but it's not an epidemic,
and the story is about people reporting instances - or shopping people.

No he's right I think, it's a bizarre usage of the word "shop" that only northerners use (never come across it in London) but it means that they want people to report others by "shopping" them in........

If the use of "shop" here is meaning to tell the authorities about someone who has done wrong, that's a pretty common usage I thought, not just a Northern thing.

However, I think it's a pretty clumsy usage gramatically to apply it in this way, i.e. to "shop abuse", surely you would normally "shop" an "abuser", not the actal "abuse" ?
