      <![CDATA[@10: Context is key, yes, but we can't let it outweigh the mechanics.<br />
Consider:<blockquote>Psychic in Tacoma reveals all: A woman claims she can foresee the future.</blockquote><br />
It's ambivalent whether we're talking about two people or one, so that's why a rewrite should be considered especially if the text is ever translated into another language. But I'll agree that it is not an "error" if the context is clear.

      <![CDATA[@3, the antecedent of "he" is obviously "Rapist"; only a fool would think the judge is ruling on his own sex offender status. Compare: "Chef in Paris given a job: A restaurateur discovered he makes delicious crepes"--would you really interpret this to mean that the restaurateur gave himself a job? Clearly you are the one who needs to drink some coffee.<br />
<br />
WRT the football game: Is it legal to place this kind of wager in both Washington and Georgia? Maybe the governors can pardon themselves for the offense.

That's okay. I suggest more coffee or perhaps a Bloody Mary.

<br />
So, you are saying that <b>emotional age</b> is a factor in determining statutory?<br />
<br />
Well, since in some ways I have the mind of a 13 year old, therefore, some of the (very) few women who had sex with me are actually rapists.<br />
<br />
Let justice be served!<br />
