I realize that I am picking on the poor staff of the WJT a lot, but there are just too many mistakes to pass up. In this story discussing accidents caused by the weather, one of my pet peeves showed up again and again—a comma separating two clauses in a sentence is repeatedly missing. "Three people were possibly injured in a two-vehicle accident Jan. 17 on interstate 80 near mile marker 206 three miles southeast of Victor," is what the sentence reads.
In what isn't the greatest sentence ever written, the missing comma just makes me cringe a little. Though it really isn't an issue that prevents the reader from understanding the message, it just makes me stop a little at the end, and wish for punctuation.
Cheers
