I am quite sure it has already been posted, several times:

People who are on the take, often quite blatantly, as if it is their right to chisel an extra R10k or so out of you for no value received.

More and more of them this year, from building inspectors, the heritage society, garage mechanic, plumber, insurance assessor, painters

Whatsapp Web that seems to have bolded certain areas of the layout by itself.

Tried with a different browser, same issue. Can't say I feel it's a step forward in the overall design
