They are already married, and have two kids together. They got married August 25, 2001. So in the future, maybe you can clear your information before writing such nonsense…..

Your screw-up has already been commented on the frontpage of second largest Norwegian newspaper.

M.A.

We got more feedback on this than anything else this week. We accidentally issued a very old story. We sent out an advisory killing the story, but unfortunately it ended up getting used a few places online: GBU Editor

I am a Canadian citizen who does not share her citizenship with geese. The reporter clearly states the plane may have hit a flock of “canadian geese”, to pluralise these birds, it is quite simply put as canada goose for one and canada geese for two or more, to call them canadian is to give them citizenship. Just thought you might that info for future.

A proud Canadian

I clicked on one of your video reports today at Yahoo.ca. Might want to let your reporter or voice-over folks know that the foreign minister of Israel’s first name is Tzipi, not TIPPSY.

If you can’t get that right, one wonders what else you aren’t getting right.

John L.

Yes, we pretty badly butchered the pronunciation of her name. We have pulled that report from our site: GBU Editor

Who makes the Obamas dance? Stevie Wonder!

Who makes the Obamas dance? Stevie Wonder! They also sang with Beyonce as she performed “My Country ‘Tis of Thee.”

Beyonce sang “America the Beautiful” not “My Country Tis of Thee.”

Yes. We corrected that: GBU Editor

G30 says broken financial system needs fixing

NEW YORK, Jan 15 (Reuters) - The Group of 30 countries on Thursday called for changes in international financial regulation to help avoid future meltdowns, but its recommendations were vague and non-binding.

Your story incorrectly states that the G30 is a “Group of 30 countries.” It is not. The Group of Thirty is a group of individuals from the private and public sectors and academia from a variety of countries, but not thirty countries.

Please correct it.

Australia refuses Japan on whaling activist block

Japan will also come under pressure to end whaling at a meeting of the IWC next week in Chile, with anti-whaling nations to argue that the yearly cull of close to 1,000 whales poses a threat to species still recovering from near-extinction.

The meeting in Chile to which you refer occurred last June. Please see here and correct this and future stories:

Eastwood wins box office race with ‘Gran Torino’

The suburban drama, in which Eastwood plays a grumpy old man who takes on Latino gang members “Dirty Harry”-style, earned an estimated $29 million in the three days since it opened nationally on Friday, distributor Warner Bros. Pictures said.

The grumpy old man in the movie doesn’t take on Latino gang members. He takes on Asian gang members. I don’t even have to comment on how bad the mistake is for reuters…

Fire forces evacuation of 11,000 homes in Colorado

BOULDER, Colo. (Reuters) - Three windblown wildfires have destroyed at least two structures, jumped a major road and forced the evacuation of 11,000 homes outside Boulder, Colorado, fire authorities said on Wednesday.

Your story contains a major error: 11,000 homes WERE NOT evacuated. That is the number of homes that were alerted to the fire through the reverse-911 system.

August date for Quentin Tarantino World War II movie

The director’s oddly spelled World War II epic “Inglourious Basterds” stars actor Brad Pitt, and production began in Europe in October.

What, no spell check on your typewriters? It is clear that no one with any knowledge of English wrote and/or edited the Quentin Tarantino story.

S.B.

That’s the spelling Tarantino is using for the title; hence our story’s reference to it as “oddly spelled.” GBU Editor

Salmonella outbreak sickens 388 across US- CDC

Salmonella-contaminated dry pet food sickened at least 79 people, including many young children, in October and November.

Your story says pet food sickened people. Is this for real? Or is it a blooper? May I be first to declare it!

M.E.

Several readers noticed this. Yes, it’s for real. People handled the contaminated food, and got salmonella: GBU Editor
