I start reading the piece on WOL....and in the third line...there is a grammatical error. FFS. Can't they just read it back before putting it up...absolutely embarrassing.

Two young drug dealers whose text messages to clients were noted for the high standards of their grammar were caught in a village library car park.

Teenager Luke Rance was was buying the drug in bulk and selling it to 21-year-old Brandon Kerrison who was then dealing it to people in Gower, a court heard.

I’m reading on a phone and can’t see the problem.

Out of curiosity, what is this “grammatical error” of which you speaketh?

All I can see wrong is “Teenager Luke Rance was was buying the drug in bulk“.

was was.....all they have to do is read it back. It's everywhere now. I find it virtually impossible NOT to read an article online that hasn't got an error. Standards are certainly slipping...

Huzah! That’s the fifth line due to formatting on my phone! I didn’t read that far. :)
