Their two spell checkers missed 'doughts'? If Wynne Gray is submitting his copy straight to the website, someone ought to slap his hand.

"The Settlement has 470 residents, and about 150 had already left this morning."
you know, just about 150 or so. so casual, it's like reading a friends description after driving past in his car. Last edited by dead goon : 5th August 2008 at 07:48. |

"Rattle Burgess This kid Luke Burgess could be a ripper, well that's the verdict from Nick Farr-Jones who knew a thing or two about halfback play. So the All Blacks need to upset him. If Burgess starts throwing Harbour Bridge balloons, then it will affect the rest of the backline. If he tries to make a foray and is snotted, that too will put doubts into the rookie." So it does look like they have put it through a spell checker, not sure why that was missed in the online version. Lesson for the day: you should buy the paper if you don't want to be dissapointed with tiny errors. |

So basically the Herald doesn't care about people viewing the paper online? It's more of a marketing exercise than a means of delivering news?

That's a rather cynical view, how unlike you CCS.

Where is your website?
I'd like to make some comparisons. |

I don't understand. Are you saying that unless I run an online newspaper then I'm not in a position to criticise? If that's not what you're suggesting, then I hardly see the relevance of whether I have a website or not.

Fine, let's get this thread on track. Better yet, let's make it a catch-all for all newspaper fuck-ups, rather than just for stuff.

The thing that gets me about nzherald or stuff is that when a venture receives government funding it is written like this: 'xyz company has won $10,000 to help find a cure to cancer'
Won? wtf, it's not like a fucken lotto ticket lady! |

Well they do spend all day doing battle with fierce foes and mighty dragons, so when they win the battle they won...

Todays NZHerald goof isn't actually a goof, despite the article sounding like it was written by a kid with ADD.

That's the best they could come up with? Couldn't they just call the team 'New Zealand' for fucks sake?

Are you seriously so petty that the name of a sports team you probably don't watch means this much to you?
Oh wait, having read this thread where small little print errors are the bane of your existence, that question is answered. Thanks for playing "Who wants to be a neurotic monkeyfart" |

I just don't like the name. Am I allowed to just not like the name without having to justify to some smeggy man on the internet?
