I don't think this year has been the year of the koala drink however.

It hasn't been a koala tea year.

While we should raise praise that no-one (as yet) has called Daphne a "Koala Bear", we should be aware of at least one of the Related Stories (same page!)

I blame it all on this internet advertising. It's everywhere. Almost every page I open, there's advertising. I can't stand it!..
No, sorry, hang about, I went a bit off the tracks there.
Let's start again.

I blame it all on these computers. Everything is computerized nowadays.
Even plagiarism.

The computerization, or rather handing over tasks to computers, is part of the problem. When a programmer's algorithm has to decide what stories are "related", even the best of us (Ahem!) lands in trouble.
There is, in short, not only a serious lack of human proofreading, but in terms of aggregated news (when a "page of news" is a kaleidoscope window) a near-impossibility of human proofreading.
