    Affecting 3rd of US Residents

    Not 1/3 or 1/3rd or even a 3rd? I miss the days when news companies hired proofreaders.

      They are just dumbing things down to be on the same level as their readers.

        I worked briefly in journalism (before going a completely different direction) for an Oregon newspaper and we were instructed to write at a 6th grade level. This was…20 years ago? I can’t imagine it has trended better.

    It’s so strange that my province really hasn’t had any significant hot weather this year with literally everyone else melting to puddles everywhere else. I’m sorry for everyone having these awful hot days.

      San Diego has been the same. Unseasonably cool lately. I’m certainly appreciating it while it lasts.

        Yes my friend who lives there says that. It’s bizarre, Ontario usually has at least one hot week but really just a few slightly hot days. I’ll take it.
