“The Warehouse starts selling fresh fruit, veges”

The above, a recent *Stuff* site heading, reflecting the financially pressed *Stuff’s* inability to afford competent sub-editors. There are two possible interpretations from that heading for it to be justified as news.

One is that hitherto the Warehouse sold stale fruit and veges.

The other is if *Stuff* considers this innocuous announcement to be news, it’s because they believe other retailers sell stale fruit and veges.

On the same day that appeared *Stuff* advised in another heading that one reason for the cyclone was oceans becoming wetter (I’m not making this up). This was quoting a Niwa ocean researcher Erik Behrens.

A competent sub-editor would have rephrased Behren’s statement. Water cannot become wetter.

Apparently what he meant was the oceans are being subject to greater rainfalls.
