American papers do, British ones don't
A few weekends back, I deviated from my normal Sunday behaviour and
purchased a copy of The
Observer (the March 23rd issue, complete with 8 car ads in the special "Climate Change Issue" colour magazine).
Contained in the bundle of superfluous newsprint which characterises
Sunday papers was a New York Times
supplement.
Glancing through it trying to decipher the strange, almost chatty style
of American newspaper writing led to the observation in this post's
title.
I'll leave it as a riddle for my many readers
to solve.
