'IT CHANGES THE MEANING': COUNCIL OMITS MACRONS FROM MĀORI NAMESMissing macrons in an Invercargill City Council report has led to a request from mana whenua to do better. At an infrastructure committee meeting on Tuesday, mana whenua representative Evelyn Cook pointed out the errors during discussion on a paper about road closures for an upcoming event. "Can we please do something about macrons that are missing in this report?" Cook asked. "There should be one on the ‘o’ in Ōreti. There should be one on the ‘o’ in Waihōpai. If we need to do something about the spell check IT programme, can we please do it?... www.1news.co.nz/2024/02/16/it-changes-the-meaning-council-omits-macrons-from-maori-names/
