Crikey no, it’s not just sentence structure we care about! There’s grammar and spelling too.
Capital E on “Eight” and a capital W on “What”, please. Three full stops and no capitalisation? Criminal.
eight people to hospital and all you care about is the sentence structure….what small lives

Me too, it breaks my heart to see poor little those “of” being so badly missused.
Is there a corollary of Poe’s Law that refers to jokes being mistaken for political statements?

What about being trapped by a mob of rancid unionists? Which is worse?

Trapped by confinement – you can’t get out of the vehicle due to the damage as opposed to trapped by compression where parts of the vehicle are pinning/penetrating your body.
Both much better than being trapped by a crazed mining magnate!
Trapped by confinement hey?
Better than being trapped by a crazed mining magnate I suppose.

Must have been a day for it. About 5pm there was a nasty smash on Parkes way going west. Just before the commonwealth ave bridge overpass.
The white car was totalled from the front smashing into this fourwheel drive.
Poor things, hope they make a full fast recovery.

Why do you care?
Do you write in and complain to the Canberra Times every time there is a typo, or News.com.au?
eily said :
While we are correcting grammar “Could of” should be “could have”.
Could’ve does not mean could of. Another great Aussie habit strikes again.
Tavner St? Taverner St, I would of thought.
At least they could of added an apostrophe.
Or has the Ozzie habit of shortening words struck again.
