That's like when the news reports that a dead body was found. The finding of live bodies is never reported.

Well, if you just say a body was found it is a bit ambiguous. It could be an unconscious body, for example.

Yah, if you really want to pin it down, you could say a cadaver. But that word doesn't seem to get used much in newspaper reporting - I don't know if it's a style issue or what.


The other phrase I notice: putting up a new building. Seems redundant to me - who puts up a building that isn't new?

I know! Let's put something to tell all mom's in labor to "blow/breath thru their contractions from December 24 until 6am the 26th so Healthcare workers can spend time with their families. Think that will go over! Hold your heart attack also! ICU is closed! Hold your appendix also! Surgery is closed!

There's a review for St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Shop in my area:

"Good selection, but their prices can be a little streep."

So...that person is alleging that Mr. tRump is a "pusher"?

I think that he/she should be very careful regarding that type of allegation, as a lawsuit could result from that type of inflammatory statement!
