It’s rather like the simple statement: Let’s Eat Grandma or Let’s Eat, Grandma. Commas, correctly used, could become editor’s best friends. Too bad they seem to be missing from too many people’s keyboards.
Yep, that’s the exact one dfwgator used.
Ah, man, hits you in the feels. God bless ‘em.
For Pete’s sake, I understood it and I’m sure you did too but just thought you were being funny.
Sometimes headlines work, sometimes they don’t. They’re very compressed, which is a challenge, and you probably couldn’t write them either.
But maybe reading the story would have helped, because it was excellent and very touching, ignorant jeering aside.
What amazes me is that these news organization have to much sympathy for a Birth+1 baby and virtually no sympathy for a Birth-1 baby.
Of course we understood it. It was bad enough to crack a few jokes.
Titles like this are sometimes written in this fashion to compel people to read the article to see what the heck the article is about.

I’d say you are too kind here. Headlines like this are the result of carelessness IMO.
I probably am. Every now and then I try to play the nice guy, LOL. Usually doesn’t happen with the press though. Must be my thrill that Trump is thumping Cruz finally, and has put me into a more forgiving mood.
If you ever get a chance, get the movie “The Drop Box”.........
