That's how I read it at first too. I think it's partly the result of a gramatical ambiguity:
"(a central computer system used to monitor technical problems) in the aircraft was infected with malware"
vs.
"a central computer system used to monitor (technical problems in the aircraft) was infected with malware"
- DeusExMachina 16y agoInteresting, I read it with the second meaning and not the first. I'm italian and in my language sentences are less structured, allowing you to move parts around "almost freely". So for me it's natural to bond "complements" to the nearest "object" in the sentence (sorry, I don't know the right words for this). Is it different in English?
- StavrosK 16y agoIt's ambiguous, so the behaviour is undefined. The author should change the sentence to make it conform to the standards.
