i've seen "sort" for "sought" today but just spotted this
Quote:
"Three Dead, Others Injured in Columbia Icefields Site-Seeing Bus Rollover in Alberta Rockies"
as a headline for an article saying
Quote:
"Three people were killed and more than a dozen others were critically injured when a glacier sightseeing bus rolled at one of the most popular attractions in the Rocky Mountains, the Columbia Icefield."
Is it worse because the writer clearly DOES know the correct version but just can't be arsed ?

Either of them could be incorrect. If the bus tour was to look at specific sites for a project, it would be a site-seeing tour. If just going to look at the view then a sight-seeing tour. 8)Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

U think looking up the rules means peeps will obey them? Like when the beeb bleats on “if the thief that’s stolen the collection tin knew the consequences they wouldn’t have done it”. No, they don’t give a
