• A 2008 essay by Rebecca Solnit in the LA Times was headlined “Men who explain things”, not, as we stated, “Men Explain Things to Me”, which is the title of her 2014 book (Debate fallout: What is mansplaining? 27 July, p10).

• Although fans of the TV sitcom Miranda may like the idea, “suchfun” is not a word; its inclusion in last Monday’s Codeword was an error (Journal, p8).

• Other recently amended articles include:

Cases like Archie Battersbee’s rely on complex ethical decisions. This is how they’re made

French mayor to ask Mont Blanc climbers for €15,000 rescue and funeral deposit

Usually this comes during hour two of a zonked-out doomscroll, realising you have consumed everything new across your preferred social networks with nothing to show for it beyond a jangly, hollowed-out feeling.
