Singular/plural Disagreement

"The driver" is singular, and "they" is plural. Instead of "they," the writer should have used he. Additionally, several compound sentences are missing a comma before the coordinating conjunction.

This is quite confusing. Who died? Who was on the porch? Is that a picture of the victim or the accused? (I'm assuming it is a photo of the accused.)

Magic Springs Promotion





My dear daughter was not only excited about possibly getting to use this promotion to go to Magic Springs, but also she was delighted to show me the mistakes she found:

2.  The word "ticekt" should be ticket.
