To start with I directly involved the reader by using a location known very well to them, this would make them feel like part of the article and would help benefit themselves. I abrublty start with an agitated tone where I scrutinize the language used by the community within Suffolk One by explaining to the reader it isn't "should of".

The repeated use of plosives in this sentence; "battle", "blasted", "shot", "assaulted", represents another grammar mistake seen by me as I walk down Ipswich High Street. The syndetic list also helps to reinforce the sheer amount of mistakes I am seeing. The next paragraph moves towards a very sarcastic tone because we have hit the core point of the editorial. This is going to need concentration from now on. The indication of "signposts" shows that at any time the reader can stop reading.

I use a slant rhyme, "apostrophe catastrophe" in order to make a memorable slogan to make the reader remember the misuse
