There was also an 82 percent increase in 26 to 35-year-olds, but perhaps most startling is the under-18s. In 2017 there were only five on the list, today there are 16, a 220 percent jump, and those numbers are likely even worse.

It also says "overcharged by double" which would mean three times the correct amount (the normal charge plus the double overcharge), yet two paragraphs later says that they took the money twice.

Stuff-up, fat finger, on the hunt for the highly invasive batwing vine

 

 

I guess they were influenced by the baby ducks, which are surely loveable.

Liz Truss leaves Britain in despair

 

This is a particularly poor caption for CNN. Did she flee the country in tears or has she reduced the country to tears?

Stuff: "Auckland Council incensing and environmental health acting manager Veronica Lee-Thompson said the three shops were forced to close and issued with an E grade."

 

Pretty sure it should be "licensing".

Herald:

β€œThe patience businesses show with under-performance will only grow as the pressure grows on the economy in the coming months.”

Really?

The boat is 'on the marina', which is a common enough expression. You could argue 'in the marina' is more accurate. Regardless if it's in or on the marina it's common in expression to extend that and say the boat is 'on' the island. The boat is not at sea nor is it 'off the island' an expression indicating something else entirely.

Maybe "common" in your world, but not with anyone around here.
