A news item...

in today's Business Standard had this sentence -

Trends are too early to predict whether the tablets are going to canabalise the PC segment, but in 2011-12, sales of tablet PCs had started cannibalising the netbook sales.

Besides the fact that the sentence is confusing, the obvious jumps out - Canabalise? cannibalising?

Should have been cannibalize.....................cannibalizing

and - Tends are too early to predict whether tablets are going to cannibalize the PC segment, but in 2011-12, sales of tablet PCs had started cannibalizing netbook sales.

(cannibalize meaning to gobble up)

Pity the editor didn't confirm the spelling...or check the unnecessary use of the definite article.
