891-5: Sic!

• Norman Berns found a headline of 10 August on the website of the Argyll Free Press (not the Scottish paper but the one of Mitchell, South Dakota): “Conference addressing issue of human trafficking by US attorneys: A major concern.”



• The San Francisco Chronicle website startled Jim Tang on 4 August with the headline: “Man killed after turning down ride from police.”



• Yet a third headline, from the website Engadget, struck Eugene Cassidy as entirely plausible: “IBM’s new supercomputing chip mimics the human brain with very little power.”



• Padmavyuha Green read a BBC report about Rhosllanerchrugog, a village in North Wales: “Investigators found a number [of] cannabis plants following the fire, which forced neighbours to leave their homes.”
