    From the Japan Times

    Trump evacuated as shooter opens fire at Washington gala event

    Reminds me of a MASH episode where a bomb exploded nearby and Potter called "Evacuate", and Hawkeye said "I think I already did".
    I laughed aloud when I read that. Thank you. It has made my day.

    Again, from the BBC news website:
    'Europe trips without huge crowds or price tags' Not weird, perhaps, but ambivelent to this erstwhile editor.
    On first (and second) reading I read 'trips' as a verb'. Better would be, 'Trips to Europe without ...' Just the addition of a single short word makes it clear.

    Found online, apparently from The Independent:

    Golders Green terror attack suspect was living in home for people who leave secure hospital before stabbings

    A bit of lexical rearrangement needed, perhaps? I suggest:

    Before stabbings, Golders Green terror attack suspect was living in home for people who leave secure hospital ...

    You'd think the Indy might have someone who could have spotted that.
  • But think of the Ink they saved by not using that comma!
