Like they're trying to say "hey, we're fun, we're having a laugh, no hard feelings right? We're still 100% deadly serious about this though, you definitely need to stop using those words that we own. But, like, in a fun way."

It was really the best possible way to start my day. The one that always sticks out in my mind is "One killed in outdoor tennis court explosion"

There are suddenly a lot of crayfish -- and scientists are begging God for forgiveness! Self-replicating crayfish alert -- scientists can't stop screaming!

Volcott posted:I think you need to be willing to do 20 over on unpaved roads to even get hired as a bus driver. My impression is that the interview process goes something like this:  Can you read a schedule? No. What should you do when you see a bus stop? I might stop if I feel like it. OK, what do you do if you're at a stop and you see someone running towards you? Shut the door and floor it. How long should you give passengers to scan their tickets and find a seat (or leave the bus)? About half a second? Wait, is that too long? When's the best time to get out for a smoke? After all the passengers have gotten onto the bus and the scheduled departure time is less than 30 seconds away. You're hired.

Platystemon posted:It’s how journalists use commas. Boy paralyzed after tumor and fights back to earn black belt There's an unspoken "who was" after the word "boy", so if you expand that out you get: Boy who was paralyzed after tumor and fights back to earn black belt but what you actually want is: Boy who was paralyzed after tumor fights back to earn black belt So if you remove the "who was" you get back to the original headline, which is how that came about in the first place. Then to remove the ambiguity they should have added two commas to separate the "paralysed after tumor" bit. In your other example: Aurora man broke into house, stole woman's underwear while she and her children hid: police the comma can be replaced by an "and", or by a semicolon. Aurora man broke into house; stole woman's underwear while she and her children hid: police darthbob88 posted:It's also technically wrong.

Azathoth posted:I parsed it as "if someone offered me a baby in exchange for literally anything, I would give them what they were asking for because it takes the infant away from the lunatic trying to sell a goddamn baby. Then, as soon as it is safe, I would immediately call the police so they could arrest the lunatic and get the baby to a safe home." I'm not sure how you could read it any other way.

Here's Everything You Need To Know About The Drama Surrounding Bunnings' Sausagesquote:"Whether the onions are on top or underneath, I'll always be buying sausages on bread," says Australia's prime minister, who has commented on this for some reason. I don't know if it's mistake by the article's author or if there are actually some weirdos who call a sausage in bread a "sausage sizzle", because I've never heard that. The event at which the sausages are sold is a sausage sizzle, the product itself is just a sausage in bread.

mrkillboy posted:a loaf of bread is a lot cheaper than buying a bunch of hot dogs buns. If anything, that's a fortuitous coincidence. They serve sausages in bread because that's the way it's done. If you're having a barbecue at home you eat sausages in bread, not in rolls. If you're running a sausage sizzle you serve sausages in bread. That's what's expected.
