I hate all the Americanisms creeping into articles supposedly written by Kiwis. Gas station, side walk, pay cheque and $h1t like that.

Yes - and it’s not just in written form either. e.g. Really dislike NZ sports commentators who say ‘dee-fence’ for defence - should still be ‘diffence’. Same for ‘oh-fence’. And ‘sem-eye’ for semi.

...and in their initial article on the death of President Bush (Snr), Stuff said "Bush was the United States 41st President and the SON of former US President George W Bush".

Son, Father, whatever.  They're interchangable, aren't they?

Article about recycling shows "photos" supplied by people who came to New Zealand to say our recycle is polluting their country. Fair enough complaint.

Not fair is having a can of Coke Zero with Spanish label ("A Coke Zero can from New Zealand found dumped in Malaysia.") and a box of 7Up with US contact details ("At Malaysian dumping sites, Greenpeace found plastic items clearly marked as having been purchased in New Zealand.") to be shown as evidence of New Zealand pollution.
