But it seems the Mainichi News is still confused:
Or perhaps Australian beef is Austrian beef in disguise and they’ve been tricking the Japanese market all these years....
Typos happen a lot. Especially online. I’m guilty of about a million myself. But for a major newspaper in an article all about Australia - that is one sloppy typo.
No cigar for you today Mainichi Shimbun.

Do you know that Austria is so miffed by Japanese confusing their country with Australia that they are changing the katakana from オーストリア to オーストリー
Maybe that will help.

Maybe you have a secret horde of Austrians camped out somewhere in the outback raising cattle for export.
JA, IM IN UR OUTBACK EXPORTING MEIN BEEFS ...

What, I say, what does does 14365.72 refer to? Will there be a test later? Are you sending coded messages to your home planet (presumably filled with a bevy of cool Australian chicks)?
I await, with bated breath, the next increment in your series of #’s.
