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 all perfectly clear to the native speaker.
The Daily Mirror headline of 'Splatellite' is a worrying play on the word, 'satellite'. The story is an unmanned Russian spacecraft, Progress 59, has failed to dock with the International Space Station, and is now plummeting to earth at over 16,000 miles per hour, and no one knows where it's going to crash. They added an "l" to make the word "splat", which as a verb means to land or be squashed with a splat.
