  1. You will not control those Chinese you have allowed into the country. Trump is still battling them for intellectual property infringements in the USA. Good luck guys!

  2. LT, you have a big problem writing figures. Why is it difficult to write 367? You should not mix letters with figures – bad, bad writing. Note that normally, lettered amounts should only be used (bracketed) to affirm amounts in figures as in official documents (eg. three hundred and sixty seven). Also note that the letter K in Kwacha should always be capitalised. Take note you other culprits – ZNBC, Prime TV etc.

    You are so right. These children who are writing these news stories know completely nothing about notations and objective writing. Especially ZNBC! How can you write 305.12 as “3 hundred and 5 point twelve”. Simply write the number, your audience know how to read numbers. Editors are to blame for this nonsense. I have offered my services to edit ZNBC news for free but they don’t want to take the offer.
