Betty White Found Dead: Grammar Confusion Killed The Actress

Betty White Found Dead - the very well-known Comedian, Actress, Singer, among other things was thought dead yesterday, due to news posted by The Empire News, where they said that she had "dyed."

"Betty White Found Dead" would not be a very weird headline and believe to be true as the actress is currently ninety-two years old. She has led a wonderful life already, but fortunately, it appears like she will continue doing great things and leading said life.

The reason why everyone though Betty White was found dead yesterday is that The Empire News wrote an article in which the headline was "Actress Betty White, 92, Dyes Peacefully In Her Los Angeles Home." Now, this headline is indeed a bit tricky. First, it states her age, and then used the verb tense to say that she died indeed.

Still, one detail that saves the confusion there is the word "Dyes." When a person dies, the word is written with an "I," instead, when a person "dyes" their hair, it is written with a "y." So there, one spelling mistake that made the entire universe suddenly get worried and sad.

To speak with honesty, the arrangement of words in the headline would indicate more a death than a dye of hair, so the confusion is more a grammatical one than a spelling one.

Still, if a person reads said article, the fact that Betty White was found dead would not be an option. In the article, they talk about her not being a natural blonde and actually a brunette, although it seems that she doesn't share that information very often.

In conclusion, it's good to see that Betty White was not found dead and is very much alive and completely hilarious, as much as a legend still. She still does Stand Up shows as much as act.
