English In Use - 'E-Tree Phone Home'

A selection of headlines from stories in the news. They use English in a way that you might think is intended to confuse but it's perfectly clear to the native speaker.

Nice headline in the Daily Star on a story that hotel owner Bill Harley spotted the face of ET - of 1982 movie fame - in a tree trunk he was chopping at the Uig Hotel, Isle of Skye, Scotland.

The headline reads 'E-Tree Phone Home,' which is a play on the famous line in the movie ET - "ET phone home," - a great example of how to get your message across.
