I was becoming increasingly ratty today as I read the paper- 'a male was found dead at a residential property. Mr X resided alone'.
Translates as ' a man was found dead in his home. He lived alone'.
We used to have to do exercises at school 50+ years ago avoiding language like that.
To top it off, an advertisement on the opposite page was for 'bath fillers' ( aka taps!)
