poor grammar/punctuation. Should be a comma in there or be reworded. A lot of ‘journalists’ have poor sentence structure, trying to sound smart. They read some classics but not enough. I had to read it twice.

A Cobb County woman is filled with frustration after she says strangers moved into the vacant house she was selling, without her knowledge.

(I would have worded it differently to begin with if I were writing the story, but I wanted my correction to contain all of the same words as the idiot “journalist’s”.
