For the record I tend to vote left wing, but not too far left, as I work in education. Te Parti Maori for example has some pretty bad ideas in their education policy mixed in with a few good. ACT has some good ideas in theirs mixed with some bad. Both I assume mean well, and legitimately think that their policies will help the country. Both are probably partly wrong, based on my experience in a classroom. 


Possibly mean “empathise” versus “emphasise”.
As an example: I strongly emphasise my right to support free thinking and less government and lower taxes and generally less govt interference in lots of things. But I empathise with efforts to improve child poverty, the health system, education and also helping small businesses and private landlords (and their tenants) being adversely impacted by present government.

And the same paragraphs and sentences repeated underneath each other.
Many incorrect words used as well.
I think they have done away with inhouse proof readers and now out source to a third party.
Probably in India. LOL

Yup. That's what happens when I don't proofread. Smile

There's even an error in the title of this thread. Oversight vs oversite. 30 odd posts over a week - no one noticed or no one cared.

Well funny you should say that but oversite is in fact used correctly in this instance. Oversight means to miss something, but can be used in this instance also. Oversite in this context means to supervise.

Hmm. Debatable perhaps, but not on a fishing site. Sight. Cite. Funny old language English. Explain to a farmer he needs to run a plough through a rough paddock. Or the 'it's' rules.

Are you sure about that smudge?  Happy to be corrected but I can find no support for oversite meaning to supervise.  On the other hand oversight can mean to supervise.

Yes indeedy FA, oversite & oversight are both ok in this instance as I said earlier. Trust me  just like you can trust our esteemed leader and PM Mr Chippy Big smile. I'll see what I can find to back up my case. Or otherwise

Perhaps you need to read that again smudge.  I don't believe it supports your view.

No one is getting paid to proof read these threads, unlike the Herald which is a professional publication.

The herald has become a tabloid full of trashy and irrelevant news.
They will print anything that sensationalises otherwise irrelevant gossip.
And the cheeky buggers want you to pay for it.
IMO, most of the news is irrelevant information.
Like junk food.
you can't fix an idiot with duct tape, but it does muffle them for a while...
