Revisiting Grammar 101
I'm the first to admit that I make grammatical mistakes. I make spelling mistakes as well (thank heavens for spell check). But here are the headlines from my "My Yahoo" news agreggator that have made me cringe today:
Oakland cop shot by parolee taken off life support (AP) {The parolee was on life support, then shot the cop when taken off?}
Obama praises shuttle, space station crews in call (AP) {Obama praised the space shuttle while the crews were on another call?}
Flames deny Red Wings's bid for Western lead {OUCH, my eyes}
Rangers D Rozsival out 7-to-10 days (AP) {hyphens much?}
I'll leave you to parse the meanings.
