Corrections and clarifications


People who write algorithms for software that enables stocks and shares to be traded automatically are called quantitative analysts, not quantities analysts (Was software responsible for the financial crisis?, page 2, Technology, October 16).

The island of St Kitts was colonised on January 28 1624, not in 1623 as we said in part 2 of the Black History timeline, distributed with the paper on October 14. At the time, the new year began on March 25, so the date in January was considered to have occurred in 1623; subsequent calendar reforms have placed it in early 1624.

In a report on neighbourhood territories as perceived by the young people who live in them, we said that an 18-year-old had drawn a diagram that included a zone of safety of less than 200 square metres. That should have been less than 200 metres square, or 40,000 square metres (A thin line between love and hate, page 12, G2, October 14).

The photograph with an article headlined Unemployment total may be more than 2 million by Christmas (page 4, October 16) showed derelict businesses in the Liverpool suburb of Garston, not Speke as we said in the caption.

We misspelled the word bellwether when we called M&S the bellweather of British retail. A bellwether is a sheep that leads the herd, usually wearing a bell (Recession watch, page 6, October 17).
