The Guardian used to have a reputation (deserved or not) for frequent typos. Private Eye (a satirical British magazine which has always taken a critical eye on the UK press) adopted the practice of always referring to The Guardian as The Grauniad as one of its many in-jokes, stylistic quirks, and running gags (see Eyes passim, ed.). As a result the nickname The Grauniad is a common epithet for The Guardian even if they no longer have any such reputation for typographical or copywriting errors.
