No wonder people complain about Auckland's trains

Link: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10386320

Amongst the coverage of yesterday's power chaos, I found this wee gem:
"Trains stopped stranding hundreds of commuters when the automatic signalling system had to be switched over to manual."

Now, I realise that correct grammar is passe in this day and age, but a comma makes such a difference to the interpretation of that sentence. Whatever happened to the Fourth Estate having a solid grasp of the intricacies of the English language?

Not Quite Right

Shocking as it may be, I think, and sometimes those thoughts are almost worthy of public contemplation. So, here are those some thoughts, with no guarantees as to their validity, worth, or utility to the cosmos. All thoughts are my own, representing only my thoughts, opinions and positions, unless explicitly otherwise stated. This blog is not an official or unofficial outlet for any company or government body, or for person other than myself.
