1409095 2015-09-28 17:54:00 Proof reading has had its day methinks. I have noticed the Herald is up to their usual tricks over the last week.

First the reported that a chap "amputated one finger and nearly severed two others".
Then, the article about two brewers who were" scolded" by hot beer brew.
Also, the couple who were "swallowed up" by mud.

Or, am I nitpicking.

There's always mistakes.....a instead of an etc
In Stuff's online papers too, not just the Herald.

Seems to be OK these days..

Does "they" ring any bells? :-D

But seriously I am more concerned about the lame herald headlines.

When towns reel after a violent crime
How do they know?
They interview two people who said they have never had a murder in their street and now the Herald says the whole town is reeling.
