Could be they're old and cranky - written with no one particular in mind, of course - and pre-arthritic.Nobody proofreads anymore. How swollen and infected are the tank cars?
I’d rather have “in flames”, which is actually applicable to what happened.Well, which would you rather have?
Inflamed
Imflamed
Enflamed
What? That smoke could not be more black and tank cars are leaking. That stuff cannot be good for people or the environment.there are no hazmat issues.
or erupted in flames and are burning furiouslyI’d rather have “in flames”, which is actually applicable to what happened.
Well, that IS the definition!Same thing as when someone says inflammable when they really mean it'll burn like nobody's business.
Any word on if the engineer made it out OK?Train conductor and 18 wheeler driver both escaped without injury.
It is crazy. But in this case, flammable means it will burn, inflammable means it will burn easily or readily. (The difference between a chunk of oak wood, and a handful of pine shavings.)I thought flammable meant it would burn; inflammable meant it wouldn't.
Heck, I dunno; Engrish is crazy rangrange.
Lady posted above that the truck driver and train conductor were ok. Dunno about the engineer...but you'd think if anyone was injured, it woukd be newsworthy.Any word on if the engineer made it out OK?
Different words, same basic meaning "will burn". Yep, crazy English oddity here.I thought flammable meant it would burn; inflammable meant it wouldn't.
Heck, I dunno; Engrish is crazy rangrange.
Judge Young says the 18-wheeler hit the train, causing 14 train cars to derail; however, the driver of the 18-wheeler survived. According to radio station KMIL, there were no injuries.
Saw an article where the journalist confused wench with winch.Proper journalism is a long lost art

I must confess this bothers me somewhat but not near as much as "irregardless" does.
