Ford made an electric Mustang with a manual transmission
- pmdulaney 7y agoThis Hacker News link title accurately reflects the headline on the verge. But when I read it, I thought to myself: "Are they referring to an electric vehicle that Ford made, say, in 1971? Or did they just make this thing?" The better way of phrasing it would be: Ford has made an electric Mustang with a manual transmission. In fact, the first sentence of the article uses the perfect tense: "Ford has created..." I suppose journalists think the simple past tense sounds cool -- even though it doesn't communicate as well?
