Is it really that hard to craft a title that uses normal english? For example:
"Amazon orders are still subject to replacement fraud"
There, I won't have to sit there and swap emphasis in my head until it makes sense with that one.
- teach 12y agoNewspaper headlines very often omit linking verbs (am, is, are, etc) when they can be inferred from context to make room for more important words. They probably don't have much use on a web page except to sound like a newspaper headline.
- georgemcbay 12y agoSorry if the title is confusing, it reflects my thought process as I was figuring out what was going on here in that the title I was going to use was "Amazon orders are subject to replacement fraud" and then I learned about the fact that this has been going on for quite some time and was reported on quite a bit back in 2012 (though I hadn't personally heard of it back then, as far as I remember), thus the added "(still)". But.. yeah, I can see how that would be confusing as a lead-in.
