ESL: Newspaper edition
Some actual headlines and text from newspapers (as found here, at the American Journalism Review):
- Olatheans help burn victims in Kyrgyzstan (Olathe, Kansas, Daily News) With friends like that....
- Survey: poor families worry about food, rent (Manchester, New Hampshire, Union Leader) Gee, ya think?
- "The story headlined 'Treasures for the Passover Table'...included recipes not intended to be used for Passover. The recipes containing bread and flour are not suitable for Jews keeping Kosher for Passover." (Portland, Maine, Press Herald) Doh!
- Thunderstorms and heavy rains reeked havoc on last weekend's sports schedules, causing many games to be rescheduled. (Reston, Virginia, Times) Thunderstorms smell worse in Viginia, apparently.
- Gunfire Aimed at Cars Probed by CHP (Los Angeles Times) Why do you suppose the CHP was probing cars in the first place?
- Intelligence seen as essential tool (Associated Press) Now they tell me.
Not to worry... we're all professionals here.
