Plymouthy Adams Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Today's most stupid headline (so far..the day is yet young) Unstoppable Cyclone makes landfall in India..... So if this one was unstoppable, tell me....just how many have we been able to stop in the past? What did or did not work this time around? Inquiring minds want to know...!

Plymouthy Adams Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Don there is no permission and no access, your vigilink is however active and has you cornered... the word stoppable was in this case highlighted for what ever reason I have no clue nor could I break the link....I did try............. Nothing to read in my opinion outside the very stupid headline as it was written giving indication that we do have control over some major storms..to me it was ridiculously funny....that is all Edited October 12, 2013 by Plymouthy Adams Quote
GlennCraven Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 Precisely, Tim. I've worked in the news business for over 20 years now. Headlines like this drive me batty. Who ever HAS stopped a cyclone? What may have happened in this case is a headline written by someone for whom English is a second language. But the news media today have eliminated so many editing jobs there's often nobody left for whom English is their first language, who will react as do you and I and say, "Woah, 'Unstoppable?' ... How about we go with 'Unrelenting?'" Quote
