It always surprises me when people correct other people’s grammar by using incorrect grammar! In the previous comment, “Don’t be in such a rush to beat WSYX or WBNS to the punch, your only making yourself look bad.“ it should read “...to the punch; you’re only…“ Perhaps this person should proof his/her comments before posting!
And happy Administrative Professionals Day to all my admin friends out there!
I see that NBC4 is really priding itself on accuracy, once again. Not only are their facts inaccurate, their grammar is horrible! PLEASE PROOFREAD BEFORE YOU POST A STORY. It’s not just this story, at least one a day has something misspelled or is grammatically incorrect. Don’t be in such a rush to beat WSYX or WBNS to the punch, your only making yourself look bad.
Pretty much. He pulled out and was trying to turn around by cutting across the road and Jayce’s (baby) dad couldn’t stop in time b/c he was too close to the cop to slam on the breaks.
Witness, so tell us, what happened. Was the officer attempting a U turn?
This news department is as useful as the G.C. “I didn’t see anything” Department.
It wasn’t a female. There were no girls. I was there andw witnessed it. Channel 6 interviewed me. The driver was a man. I was taking care of his son while the other witnesses were making sure him and cop were alright.
