#8 A carton of 30 eggs is reportedly now being sold in Gaza for NIS 38 ($10), down from
NIS 10 ($2.50) per egg a month ago.

Pretty sure a fourfold increase in price makes it go up, not down. Who writes these f'n things?

#12 I still think it's a poorly written / unclear sentence.

Yet another example of journalistic numerical bullshit. It is common to see mixed comparisons, like between a percentage and a count. Example: last year's murder rate in Big City was 17 per 100,000. This year, 43 people have died.

#13 Yes. Such a common piece of malpractice, a guy wrote a whole book about it.
