An apt punishment for the writer: see article.

Ugh. I don't understand how an article like this makes it to a news site for readers to read. The first three paragraphs of the article ("Woman stranded overnight on Whistler gondola" on MSN Canada News on March 10, 2011) are above, and we'll start the corrections by noting that the opening sentence should have a comma immediately after week. Next, the second sentence/paragraph should open with the word The preceding 25-year-old woman. Later in that same sentence, is a person really capable of downloading to a village? How does someone - how does anything - download to a village? Surely that should be descending. Then, in the second sentence of the second paragraph, normal should be normally. Finally, there is a missing word in the final sentence/paragraph; a should be between in and cabin. Click the image to enlarge it.
