I like how the WSJ headline tries to imply casualty between loss and leaving of finance head. Why cannot these guys simply share the news instead of trying to imply the cause.
- matt4077 9y ago"as, conjunction: used to indicate that something happens during the time when something else is taking place: Frank watched him as he ambled through the crowd | as she grew older, she kept more to herself." So they're just trying to mention both big news items in the same headline. The casualty[sic] is all in your head.
- nocoder 9y agoMaybe, but "as" also can be used in place of "because or since". Here is another headline from Reuters "Uber's finance head leaves; company's quarterly loss narrows". In my opinion, both the headlines provide a different slant to the same story. P.S:- We both misspelled "causality", what a "casualty" :)
- matt4077 9y agoThat use of "as" would require a comma: "they were free, as the case had not been proved." P.S.: I noticed the misspelling of causality, which is was the [sic] was trying to indicate.
