I may be wrong but I believe there was a time when hackers had enough nous to use a spellchecker (in just the same way as I looked up nous, a few seconds ago, to make sure I'd got it right).

What is happening here (unless you believe the British Newspaper Archive doesn't know how to spell dependent) is that a hacker is attempting to disrupt my research. This sort of thing happens all the time. It's paid for by the government.
