Think MST3K. Inspired by insipid insights: from reporters' mouths to your brain. [Notice both the alliteration and the oxymoron!] Honestly I don't pay much attention to the news, but sometimes my brain hears a phrase and just ... just ... freezes up because it can't process the nonsense. Feel free to send me your observations and I will post!
"Pedestrian struck by car crossing crosswalk in Gresham"
When I think about it, this is technically correct, in that the car was crossing through the crosswalk. But it feels awkward, like the car was using the crosswalk, right?
