It's not that hard but it is in the 'eats root and leaves department'.

 

 

I too am a pedant but it requires great accuracy - so I think you mean ‘eats roots and leavesdepartment?

 

 

Well spotted - and credentials verified 😂

Stuff recently introduced us to "a troubled section of a lower North Island state highway..."

 

I'd no idea how a state highway could be troubled. I really feel for it.

 

And as it's a lower North Island state highway we're presumably talking about SH58 or the new SH59? No, it's SH2 which get all the way up to the Bombay Hills just south of the Auckland border.

Should your feet go in the overhead locker or under the seat in front of you?

Headline

 

NZ's emissions likely to drop a third by 2035, projections show

 

First Paragraph

 

Net climate emissions are likely to drop by a quarter by 2035, new projections for New Zealand show

 

Well done RNZ.

 

EDIT: And they've corrected it and redirected the URL to the new page.

The Stuff quiz strikes again.

 

"How many reindeer does Santa have?"

 

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, Rudolph... I chose 9 and it told me it's wrong, and that it's 8.

 

"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history, unless a Stuff reporter is involved, in which case they'll forget you exist" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

ShrubMonkey:

 

 

 

So...should it be "Driver alludes to Police crossing three districts...", or "Driver eludes police across..."?

Homepage: "Watch: Kiwi woman's horrifying haircut fail"

 

Article: "Kiwi woman left in tears after shocking hairdresser experience"

 

 

 

Is it shocking or horrifying? Because to me "horrifying" is a level up there with genocide, mass murderers, serial killers. Shocking might be the case, but I think we should settle with "ugly haircut".

 

Bonus typo: text says the woman asked for "curtian bangs".
