“meadow” was supposed to be “media,” and “its” is a possessive, not a contraction, and so should not have had an apostrophe.

Give me a pencil, a “Big Chief” tablet, and a typewriter over this digital format any day…… …..I’m too old for this digital doo-doo……(71).

I’m not adept - yea, verily, quite inept… - at using this new digital meadow, having grown up using number 2 pencils, “Big Chief” writing tablets, and manual typewriters.

That being said, I’m 1/2 way through your book, and enjoying it. It’s good social commentary about New Zealand and it’s people. I only have a “National Geographic” knowledge - something about Kiwi birds and penguins…..

It’s a cool book!
