Two sentences that made me stop to think
In The ancient fabric that no one knows how to make:
Islam was born in Bangladesh and moved to London about 20 years ago.
Whaaaat? Then I realized: It's someone named “Islam”. Okay.
In Wikipedia's article on some comic book person called “Steppenwolf”:
His decapitated head is crushed by the foot of Darkseid, enraged by his lieutenant's failure.
For this to be correct, Steppenwolf would have to have a second head growing out of his main head. Then if someone cut off the second head, the main head would be a decapitated head.
Not out of the question for a comic book person, but in this case not correct. I changed it to “disembodied head”.
[ Addendum 20210322: Shortly afterward, another editor changed it to “severed head”, which I agree is better. ]
