Amaized? Don’t be

AT the Chronicle, we have a new editor — and we are brimming with eagerness to improve your reading experience of your favourite newspaper. Even serious newspapers, which ours is, should have a bit of fun.
Our front page splash on Wednesday, 13 November 2013 — “Magistrate amaized . . . Councillor offers bucket of maize as maintenance” — appears to have been a bit too clever for some of our readers who thought we had misspelled the word ‘amazed’.

We know most of our readers are a smart bunch and got it the first time — we were just playing around with the word ‘maize’. Geddit? Ehe!
Are we forgiven now?
