Re: Henderson Co.: Police search leaves property owner dead

I'm no grammar expert. Are those independent clauses?

"If this is where the one from earlier was supposed to go," doesn't seem to me like it can stand on its own.
"I'll end up quoting 75% or more of the article," seems more questionable to me. I could see that going either way.

Guess I better skip most of the errors, or I'll end up quoting 75% or more of the article.
Ironic, considering the two extra commas you included in your own post. ;-)

There is a big difference between an informal blog post and a paid and professional journalist. I am disheartened by the basic writing skills most journalists today either didn't learn or choose to ignore. :grumble
