That’s why I called you tone-deaf, not even the article “mixed up” their magical swords. It’s saying “France’s ‘Excalibur’” referring to a sword-in-stone myth located in France, using its proper name a few lines in.
Using metaphors like that in titles is just a way to capture the readers attention. It’s the fastest and most succinct way to discribe the news and have everyone understand the point of the article. It’s not wrong, it’s a metaphor.
get annoyed when people mix up their magical swords
I get annoyed by people reading only the headline and feeling like they have something useful to contribute.
Most tone-deaf “Umm actually…” I’ve ever seen lmao
Edit: “Excalibur” is obviously a metaphor for “sword in stone”
