EF: A13200201 The Mojave Phone Booth
SEF Started conversation Aug 16, 2006
The rather repetitive start in A13200201 looks like an error rather than some bizarre literary device - especially as it cuts off mid-word (and makes no sense).

It also starts repeating itself halfway through - from the third paragraph under the header "The Booth Lives On".

Actual pedantry follows
First para - tense has been changed there in editing (present to past) but a couple have been missed:
>>The reader wrote that he has noticed<< - should be 'had'. Also the penultimate word in the para should be 'was' rather than 'is'.
Bit further down:
>>CNN featured a story on the it<< - remove the 'the'
