top tennis reporter tweeted: "He will play for the biggest title of his career tomorrow!"

internet aspies are maf bc they think playing for the us open is playing for a bigger title, and he contends he's correct because fritz lost the us open final.
who is right?
i think the journo is cr |
Date: November 17th, 2024 8:06 AM Author: fury and intensity of a straight up murderer (gunneratttt) it journo is technically cr.
however, the purpose of language is to convey information. the journo purposefully choose a headline that anyone could tell would be potentially misunderstood because it's more attention grabbing. sure, *technically* he is *competing* for his most important title because he didn't win a superior competition he competed in. so, the journo is correct in grammatically but wrong if you take a 1000ft view imo. |

Date: November 17th, 2024 8:08 AM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., i think even his 1000 ft view is correct. the atp finals is the 5th most prestigious event after the 4 slams, and is pretty close in prestige. the critical information is that fritz has never won any of the 5 top tier events. if fritz lost 4 wimbledon finals and was playing in the atp finals today, i still think it's important to convey he's playing for the biggest title of his career bc he hasn't won a big title.

Date: November 17th, 2024 9:21 AM Author: fury and intensity of a straight up murderer (gunneratttt) but clearly it's not from the 1000ft view if thelre is debate. this is especially true for a journalist whose job if is to covey information to a broad audience. headlines shouldn't need to be analyzed like an lsat question.
even if bill clinton said "i did not have sexual intercourse with that woman" it would still be misleading and bordering on a lie when though it's technically true. |
