I am the only one slightly annoyed with this writing style? I often see things like this, an it feels they want to be a bit more sensationalist but getting 'bars and restaurants' as close to the 'engulfing in flames' phrase as possible. This seems to trigger me as a reader to subconsciously tie the two together (engulfing bars and restaurants in flames) when that's not actually the case. Is there a term for this method of writing?
