OK! My mistake, I typed Headline where I should have typed Title.

jingl's right, the headline is about the death of Sandy Woodward!

The title of the thread is concerned with Grammar...

Snap.

The subject of this thread is about grammar, though. If you want to comment on the death of Sandy Woodward, that could have a different title.

WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get, or that is what it says on the tin.

What you see is what you get jingl - we have missed you! grin

The heading is about grammar, not the death of Sandy Woodward, but you could start another one about his demise.

confused The headline is about the death of Sandy Woodward.

(Don't know what those letters stand for)

Well, the subject of the headline is "Grammar". WYSIWYG.

My God! Is that all you can comment on between yourselves in that headline? The grammar? hmm #littleminds

There is a butcher's shop in our village which is for sale as a going concern but is, currently, only being ran part-time!

Perhaps it sank in the Atlantic.

Headline in The Daily Mail:
The death of the man who sunk the Belgrano: Falklands Navy hero Sir John 'Sandy' Woodward dies aged 81
