Even if there is another mag of that name, most of the hits won’t be about it. An excellent eggcorn. What’s national about it these days, anyway? Whereas a large proportion of the articles focus on some aspect of nature (as opposed e.g. to human societies, which one might consider artificial. “Natural†is one of the hardest words I know to define usefully: too often it means “I want to sell it to youâ€, or else, in the negative form “unnaturalâ€, “I want you to depreciate if not despise this thing that my opponent advocates/wants to sellâ€.)
