Seriously!
And I can’t get a job at this bloody paper?
Police shoot dead woman waving gun at officers in car park
Well actually, she wasn’t dead when they shot her, although she was dead shortly afterwards.
So that’s all right then.
Are they comma-rationing in the UK again?
Actually, I suppose that it’s possible she was some sort of zombie revenant, although everyone knows zombies can’t be stopped by bullets. Maybe Bobbies are using silver bullets now?
And hey, Gawker ran something I sent them. That never happens…they must not have gotten Denton‘s memo.

It’s not for naught that it’s known as the Grauniad.
Indeed. But I really should send them something. Maybe Boris will give me a reference? Surely he’s forgotten all that stuff I said about him during the Israel-Lebanon war last year.
Right?
At first I thought the problem was “car park.” Then I realized that not everyone calls them “parking decks,” or “parking lots,” or “out yonder.” :-)
Well if a dead woman was waving a gun at me I’d shoot the fucker too. Honestly, who did this one? I want names…and the phone number of their HR department.
Actually I’m not sure that a comma would be grammatically correct there… But they do seem to be rationing out the indefinite article.
Indeed, but a couple of them would have been an improvement. Actually, virtually anything would have been. The only one at the Guardian who can really write is Jon Henley anyway.
Yup, zombies. It’s that mad-cow beef again, I’ll bet you anything…
Ooh, good call! We’ve got Mad Cow here too; maybe I can grow my own zombies. I’ll have to send a few emails to Alberta…brb.
