Corrections
This page lists corrections to Howlane guides that changed a fact, a number or the meaning of advice. Spelling and layout fixes are not listed one by one.
How to report a mistake
Every page has a Report a problem button near the bottom. It sends us the page address and any sentence you have selected, so you only need to say what is wrong and, if you can, link an official source. You can also write to contact@howlane.com.
What we do with a report
- We open the guide's listed sources and check the sentence or number against them.
- If the guide is wrong, we fix it, update the "sources checked" date on the guide, and fix the translations of the same guide.
- Changes that affect a fact or a number are added to the table below.
Corrections
| Date | Guide | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-22 | High blood pressure and strength training | The guide said a small amount of activity "helps" lower blood pressure. The NHLBI source says it "may help"; the wording now matches the source. |
| 2026-10-22 | Sprain vs. strain | The sign that calls for a provider now uses the NIAMS wording: being unable to tolerate any weight on the area. |
| 2026-10-22 | Running hydration | Dehydration signs are now labeled as MedlinePlus labels them (mild to moderate vs. severe). Added that severe dehydration is a life-threatening emergency and that symptoms of low blood sodium call for contacting a provider right away. |
| 2026-10-22 | Air quality index for runners | The guide said to run as usual on yellow (moderate) days. It now gives AirNow's wording, which notes a possible risk for people unusually sensitive to air pollution. |
| 2026-10-22 | Slow-release nitrogen on fertilizer labels | The Clemson label example described 10 percent as a share of the product. It is 10 percent water-insoluble nitrogen listed against 18 percent total nitrogen. |
| 2026-10-22 | Macro photos on iPhone | An "Auto Macro" button name that does not appear in Apple's guide was replaced with the on-screen macro button. |
| 2026-10-22 | VLOOKUP vs. XLOOKUP; first pivot table | Several statements about lookup behavior and whether pivot tables update on their own were corrected against Microsoft's documentation. |
| 2026-10-21 | Choosing a container size | The volume comparison with a 1-pint pot was given as 10 and 20 times. A 5-gallon pot is 40 times and a 10-gallon pot 80 times (1 gallon = 8 pints). |
| 2026-10-21 | Seoul taxi fares | A fare figure did not match the current Seoul fare table. Corrected. |
| 2026-10-21 | Minimum wage in Korea (Korean) | The share of bonuses counted toward the minimum wage was given under the old transition rule. Since 2024 bonuses count in full; the guide now says so. |
| 2026-10-21 | Child-related tax deductions in Korea (Korean) | Updated for the 2026 law change, with the 2025 tax-year rule and the rule for 2026 spending shown separately. |
| 2026-10-21 | Omega-3 during pregnancy and breastfeeding (Korean) | A reference intake had been misread from the source table. Corrected. A calcium supplement dose suggestion was removed, because our health guides do not give dosing advice. |
| 2026-10-20 | Building an emergency fund | The time to reach the target was given as 21 months. With the guide's own numbers it is about 19 months (84 weeks). |
