Jail docket: Dumbasses doing dumbass stuff like not wearing seatbelts and having no insurance and texting while driving[5]
[1] Should be “keeps”; I do not edit the newspaper and apparently the editor doesn’t either, though he is a nice guy.
[2] See [1]; Very little consistency in headline capitalization
[3] All in all there were six inches by four columns of 911 calls.
[4] Holy moly! The goats were on The Main 4-Lane Highway!
[5] You would think that if you had no insurance you would *not* call attention to yourself by doing dumbass stuff while driving, wouldn’t you? Yes you would, because you are not a dumbass.
You really should read Craigslist…
Grammar? Spelling? Knowledge of the breeds/varieties of the animals/materials they’re selling???
Unbelievable.
Part of it is just a language problem – many in our area at least, are Hispanic, and it’s reasonable that their linguistic abilities are lacking – but with many it’s just ignorance or carelessness.
“Boer” is a breed of goat. Not “boar”, which is a male pig. Not “bore” which can be 2 or 3 other things…but “Boer”. And you can’t…can _not_ … have a female “boar”.
As I said…I find Craigslist to make for entertaining reading!
PS. I have to clear the cache every day to read anything new, and I never know if there’s something new or not unless I do clear the cache. Also, when I finished this comment, I tried to send it, and my name and address info has disappeared and has to be re-entered.
Strange stuff.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry too…I’m pretty sure there’s nothing you can do about it – or you would! But it is frustrating. It could be my computer – I need to do some updates. I’ll do that tomorrow.
I’ll sure be embarrassed if it turns out that that’s the solution!
