Writing news for Seattlest, we spend a lot of time feeling slightly befuddled by local news headlines. Last night's perusal of headlines offered us this gem: "Semi road rage leads to big mess on I-5." We read it as a case of mild road rage, somehow causing a traffic jam. A sentence into the story, we realized our error. In reality, the driver of a semi truck suffered a case of road rage when another truck driver tailed his truck too closely. The angry driver slammed on the brakes, damaging his trailer and sending him careening onto the highway's dirt shoulder.

Would it be "Semi-road rage"?
We have similar problems reading Seattlest, particularly lines like "slammed on the breaks".
Really, are such catty comments necessary?
No, such comments are not necessary.
Really, booboo113, Seattlest likes to have fun at the expense of other websites, newspapers, etc. I'm sure it can take a little ribbing when, in the process of poking fun at someone else's use of language, it makes a faux pas of its own.
ah I see my spelling error! my bad.
The mix of irony and karma are a bitch, no?
Thems the breaks.
