Affecting 3rd of US Residents
Not 1/3 or 1/3rd or even a 3rd? I miss the days when news companies hired proofreaders.
They are just dumbing things down to be on the same level as their readers.
I worked briefly in journalism (before going a completely different direction) for an Oregon newspaper and we were instructed to write at a 6th grade level. This was...20 years ago? I can't imagine it has trended better.
