2011 Mortal Mangle "Renumeration" and for wrongly correcting another
November 2011
Tony Jones, one of Australia’s most articulate broadcasters, contradicted Rebecca Weisser, editor of The Australian’s Opinion Page, on Q&A, when she commented on an executive’s remuneration. “Renumeration”, he corrected her. Three times she correctly used the word. Three times he corrected her. With extraordinary grace, she let it pass. From that moment, Tony was catapulted into the Manglish Hall of Fame with a nomination for the 2011 Mortal Mangle (for wrongly correcting another).
