Tim BrayIs it just me, or does it seem like every freaking news organization on the planet now prefaces every other piece with “Here is what to know about…”? Fuck that. An accurate description would be “Here is what we know about…”
mhoye@timbray "Our knowledge is incomplete but here is our methodology" I think might be too much to ask for.
Victor Bjelkholm"Here is what we want you to know about..." would be the most accurate.
Loren Kohnfelder@timbray Agree it's awful, but web search for that phrase returns 20(ish) results for past 24hrs, <100 for the past week. I'd just use that as a signal to avoid that website in the future.

Isaka@timbray There's also a preposterous abuse of the definite article "the" where there ought to be an "a" or an "an". Poor grammar choice shouldn't be an acceptable excuse for that profession, a form of deception should be assumed.
