Another Reason I’m Glad I Didn’t Spend Money On a Journalism Degree

From this article:

He is considered extremely armed and dangerous.

“Extremely armed”?

Hello. Does anyone ever read what they write? This should be: “He is considered armed and extremely dangerous.” (Although, as Stephen King would point out, why do we need the adverb “extremely” anyway? Is there any other kind of danger?)

Oh well. It also says he “stands 6 fee tall” so why complain about that misplaced adverb?
