The title was rewritten, but now it's ambiguous. Try:
"U.S. workers say weed killer banned in 50 countries is giving them Parkinson's"
same words clearer meaning
- drewcoo 3y agoOr maybe put "Paraquat" in the title instead of talking circles around it.
- rob74 3y agoPara... what?
- jaredhallen 3y agoBut then you don't get to editorialize before people start to read the article.
- langsoul-com 3y agoIt's not really editorialising that's the only weed killer the article talks about.
- dappermanneke 3y agoand yet hn is going on rants about all weedkillers and all chemicals in the comments. the limits of expertise
- dcormier 3y agoI'd never heard of it before clicking through.
- rsynnott 3y agoHuh. Didn’t realise this was still legal anywhere.
- botanical 3y agoI have to ask, how on earth is it ambiguous? The word "banned" has been swapped around. Same difference.
- dekhn 3y ago"U.S. workers say banned weed killer in 50 countries is giving them Parkinson's" could be interpreted in several ways: that the weed killer is banned in 50 countries, or as "Banned weed killer giving US workers parkinson in 50 countries". By moving banned, it makes it clear the weed killer is banned in 50 countries, not that it's killing people in 50 countries.
