A bag can spill open, can't it?

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

I read it as a place name, was kind of unsurprised by news about a rape in Masterton and the presence of a cult in the area. So you can't know everything about a story from reading the headline, apparently.

Brilliant. And about as reliable as much of guff that comes out of that Ministry - even though it's the Herald's mistake.

"Tenant destroyed Whangaparāoa house, costing landlord $47k in repairs"

 

Tip: If your house is destroyed - it only costs $47k to fix it.

I wish principals focused less on mana and more on spelling. Then we wouldn't see this on the front page of the Herald:

The landlord had to pay. The courts award payment as compensation for specific things.

If we're going to be pedantic, that's a punctuation error - not a spelling error. 😀
