  1. Anyone notice that there are many fewer links to this news provider?
    Anyone figure out which version of the English language they decided to use?

    Seriously, the copy editing has been in the toilet these last few

    The kind with all sorts of mis-spellings and inappropriate grammar and
    translators who seem to be using Babel Fish instead of a translators
    dictionary and knowledge of the languages in question.
