Corrections and clarifications

Pacific weather systems | straight/strait homophone

• A graphic should have shown vapour from Pacific weather systems depositing rain when ascending the western faces of British Columbia’s mountain ranges, rather than this happening when the vapour later descends the other side (A parade of storms, 18 November, page 33).

• Homophone corner: “It’s a bit of a gift to us, the fact that Keir [Starmer] is straight-laced” (Can Johnson get the show back on the road?, 20 November, page 17).
