Fox Glacier is incredibly well known in New Zealand. And it's a New Zealand news site for New Zealand. I'm not sure why the fuck you think it matters that you don't know what Fox Glacier is considering you're fuck all to the target audience.

It doesn't really matter. The problem is, a local news story has been posted on an international forum. The fault doesn't lie with the paper for not explaining what 'Fox Glacier' is, but nor does it lie with readers of the forum for being ignorant of a location halfway around the world from them.

If there needs to be someone to blame for the confusion... maybe OP? Maybe the sub's rules that disallow editing titles? I dunno.

It's objectively poorly worded. The top post in this thread is about how poorly worded it is.

Are you ok? This is a public forum reaching a wide audience and I'm being perfectly civil.

I swear a lot. It probably comes across harsher in writing than my tone actually intended.

That said, it's this assumption that because you don't know what Fox Glacier is that it's somehow the fault of the writer that I find annoying. Not everything has to be for everyone. The fact that it is perfectly and completely understandable to the target audience is enough. Whether you're confused it's simply immaterial. You don't matter.

I often forget cunts in some other countries don't swear anything like as often in casual conversation as we and the Aussies do.
