    The Importance of Subediting...

    Today's Metro's front page has as story titled "Sex at 15 could be legal for girls". The article, by Ross McGuinness, discusses how the legal age of consent could be lowered for girls.

    A few paragraphs down, there's a line which really could have done with some punctuation...

    "Mr McDowell described that as "a very strange situation" and vowed to discuss changing the age at which girls can legally have intercourse with the gardaí and the Director of Public Prosecutions".

    :twisted:
