Pedantry

Ho hum, so Dr Nelson seems to have given up on his tour diary. Hardly an auspicious start to the Liberal Party's supposed online blitz. His most recent entry (from late last week) isn't really that noteworthy, but does begin with this gem.

"I started the day at the Adelaide Central Markets and saw my becoming good friend now, Ross Savos, who runs the Central Deli at the markets, and then went on to have the opportunity to speak to a number of the stallholders."

I guess it's better than being unbecoming.

While I'm being pedantic, this article in The Australian surprised me.

"But while Australia is the second most likely country to witness a shark attack, after the United States, most attacks remain rare and not fatal."

Most attacks are rare... but some are very common?
