silicon2tanana contrast
Here is an article in the Minor News about this cool thing called "wi-fi" and how customers are using a "wireless internet connection" to "surf the web." The headline, you'll note, begins "Fairbanks get connected". But I shouldn't mock that one too much, since my hometown rag often has equally atrocious grammatical mistakes. Don't newspapers hire editors any more?

The guy (editor) probably thought "Fairbanks" with an "s" at the end is not singular
Did you call it the "minor" news on purpose? To us, wifi-ing the town is fairly minor, but your Alaskan miners might disagree in a major way.
If the front page informs you that a raven got electrocuted on a power pole, and that that renovation of a supermarket is irking the neighbors, then yes, it's Minor News. :)
