pardon ˈpɑːd(ə)n/Submit noun 1. the action of forgiving or being forgiven for an error or offence.
-
Pardon is "náðun" in Icelandic and is a specific and different thing to restoration of honour "uppreist æru".
-
I know that would be the legally accurate definition but in terms of how language is used, it is not incorrect
-
I'm no media expert but is legal accuracy kind of important when reporting about the fall of a government?
-
It is, which is why this was all thankfully clarified in a long series of tweets and links

You are just wrong on this. A pardon is a totally different thing, the pres. has (formally) the power to pardon, see art. 29 of constitution
-
No one has been pardoned and no one has had his or her "honor restored" by this government.
-
In fact current Justice Minister put a halt on all "restorations of honor", and put the whole antiquated process under review.

Unfortunately, the English-language articles are not always written by people with the right knowledge and vocabulary for the subject.
-
Ergo, having multiple daily publications in a country with the population of 350.000 does result in a lack of resources and specialisation.
-
The English language versions of most mainstream papers are also a low-priority operation with low or no return of investment.

Right, which happens to A) be a literal translation of the Icelandic term "uppreist æru" + B) have very specific meaning in English. Unlucky
