multiple causalities
-- "Drill tests transit safety" in Vancouver 24 hours on November 24, 2008
On the cover. Yes, there would be causalities in this scenario. There might also be casualties, which would be more newsworthy.

1. the relation of cause and effect: The result is the same, however differently the causality is interpreted.

four-year-old Elizabeth Tompkins
-- "Dad stabbed family before shooting himself: cops" on Sympatico / MSN News on November 23, 2008
I found it odd that the couple in their mid-60s had a four-year-old daughter, but then in the next sentence it's revealed the four-year-old had a husband. Seems like the four-year-old wasn't actually a four-year-old, was she? Unless she was born on February 29, and she was four but really sixteen and had married young. But another source has the four-year-old as a forty-one-year-old, so factual error it is.

transformating
-- "East Clayton: A flourishing suburbia" in Vancouver 24 Hours on November 5, 2008
I'm intrigued by this type of error. The green text is excerpted from the article, where it's correctly written as transforming. See for yourself, to the left of the green text. I thought creating the green text is a simple copy/paste chore, but apparently not.

WEDNDESAY
-- Inside building at 1420 W 12th Ave in Vancouver, BC, Canada on October 29, 2008
At first glance I had thought all the letters were jumbled, and maybe on purpose. But on closer inspection I saw that the second D missed its mark by a couple of letters, and I don't think it was on purpose.

Six friends were having a cigarette
-- "Armed robbery" in Vancouver 24 Hours on October 30, 2008
Six friends were all sharing one cigarette? Those empty wallets probably disappointed the robbers. You know, cuz if they're all sharing one cigarette then they can't have much money. Or maybe, just maybe, six friends were each having a cigarette.
