> Of Nat Hager III
> wingspan of 7.45m, the TIMES OF LONDON is reporting Saturday.

The original Times article is at:

www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-603370,00.html

The Times has very strict editorial guidelines. This is occasionally
discussed in the UKMA mailing list and I think the guidelines were available
online somewhere, or they were provided in the mailing list.


Incidentally, off-topic, I may have mentioned before my interest in
transatlantic linguistic differences. The phrase "is reporting Saturday"
stands out a classic case of a US style that appears very odd to a British
ear. In British English it always needs another word (would it be a
preposition?). In this case: 'on' as in: "is reporting on Saturday".
