    The grammar in this article makes no sense where it says;

    “An anonymous reporter said they were walking alone at night in the Sayre Park Village area when a man grabbed them and groped them, the alert said. ”

    If the person was alone, then the words “they” and “them” which are plural make no sense grammatically.

    It is unclear whether this is yet one more example of the idiotic use of silly politically correct “woke” language or whether the author of this article needs to take a class in remedial English.
