    It’s confusing to see which words are left out in some titles. I’ve often wondered if there’s any sort of style guide for article titles.

      It’s a remnant of when they had text size constraints in print media. Sot sure if there is a style guide so to speak but I think they used to concatenate sentences as small as possible while still conveying the authors intended meaning.

        …while still conveying the authors intended meaning.

        The headline writer failed then.
