Is it just me or did anyone else read the title as: FBI asked Sony for Playstation users in order to sell cocaine to them.

- anonytrary 7y agoWe're off topic, but I also read it that way at first. The title could be less ambiguous. Setting the user data as X makes your interpretation much clearer: > FBI asked Sony for X to sell cocaine Where X = data on user who used PlayStation network.
- wcunning 7y agoDisagree -- that's more confusing because the English use of parentheses is to encapsulate something that can be removed, so your version is equivalent to > FBI asked Sony for to sell cocaine I would instead group as follows > FBI asked Sony for data on (user who used PlayStation network to sell cocaine)
- anonytrary 7y agoI noticed this as well and updated my comment. Also, I don't think either of those examples work. It makes more sense to talk about an "order of operations"; unfortunately parenthesis in English are not used to specify an order of operations. In this case, the order of operations is ambiguous in the title.
