Is this proper English?
 

i'm suck at engrish... but... this headline on the front page of cnn, at least according to my book, is wrong:

"Tornadoes kill least 21, ripping across South"

or am i wrong?

:warning

Just needs an "at" before 'least' and it's proper.

"Tornadoes kill AT least 21, ripping across South" in reference to the Southeastern US which got rocked by twisters today.

That's what happens when you outservice.

The english language will need to be adjusted accordingly as CNN is never wrong.

Seems wrong to me.

I think it's wrong.

even that's wrong. this looks better


"Tornadoes rip across South, killing AT least 21"

its kinda wrong but i think its the way how they put the news is...i mean headlines should be catchy and sure is they catch your attention...:)

webmaster's fault :2cents:

It's a simple mistake or it's awkward newspaper shorthand used because of space considerations.

they should have ran it thru MSWord, doesnt it catch grammatical errors?

errors happen, no biggie... just couldnt believe it was the top story headline on the from page of CNN heh
