46 million Australian banknotes printed with a spelling mistake

6 Million bank notes in Australia have been printed with a spelling mistake.

The mistake has been found on Australia’s new $50 bill which was introduced last October.

One side of the bill depicts Edith Cowan, the first woman to serve in Australia’s parliament. Beside her image is small text of her first speech in parliament.

It is in this small text that the spelling mistake occurs. They spelt responsibility as responsibilty!

“It is a great responsibilty to be the only woman here, and I want to emphasise the necessity which exists for other women being here,”

The misspelling occurs three times on the note.

The mistake was spotted by a listener of Australian radio station Triple M, who sent a zoomed-in picture of the note to the radio station.

Doctors warn about dangers of Fortnite

Every few years a new video game fad explodes onto the scene. In 2016 it was Pokémon Go, now it’s Fortnite.

The game has been downloaded more than 40 million times since its launch last year. But its popularity has prompted a warning about the dangers of addiction.

The video game puts 100 players against each other in a frantic fight for survival.

No matter your skill level, the game will get you hooked.

“Fortnite is really addictive because it’s a free-to-play game and it doesn’t make any difference if you play it for one hour or 100 hours, you’re always going to get the same experience,” says video games journalist.
