Especially irritating as most of these organisations have their own website, which they could update independently and share that link on socials. It's not like it's hard to update a website in this day and age.

People get my name wrong all the time. Once spent a temp job being called the totally wrong name as the office manager introduced me incorrectly to other people and I was too young and surprised to correct her. Wouldn't do that now.

I have been taste testing panettone since December*. Only two left from my small tower of 6 large and 5 mini.

When you see a headline that sounds outrageous, just stop and think.
Read the article - that almost always debunks the headline!
Look out for the use of the word “after” - it’s a manipulation to make you believe cause by linking the action to most innocuous part of the story
