Off The Record

Just when we thought the quality of reporting in the Paxton Record couldn't get any worse, they top themselves yet again. Professional reporting is waning there. If you enjoy reading articles written like they are for a grammar school class paper, then the Record is for you. Their reporters obviously lack a tight grasp on the English language. No one has told them "dicking around" is not an appropriate verb. Their quote in a recent article about a local body builder is actually, "If you aren't sweating, you're probably dicking around," he said.

Perhaps a crash course in grammar 101 and use of euphemisms is in order?
