    Or Japan’s Automakers.

    Headlines in general just seemed to be terrible. It’s like when they decide the word “and” is too hard to type so they just use a comma instead, but also still use commas sometimes for their original purpose. Leading to some very weird sentences.

    Father, daughter win lottery, separately

    That’s a genuine headline I’ve seen in a local paper.

      lol yeah, it does sometimes seem like headlines will compromise grammar in favor of brevity to the point of incomprehensibility…
