The female? Not the woman or even her name? Talk about lazy grammar
Apart from making me giggle at how Ferengi it sounds isn't this like some kind of internal policy driven language and not just the whim of a staffer?
That’s even grosser. How should the newspaper know or anyone care if a person is female, have they interviewed her doctor or taken a dna sample?
What I meant was I think the writer was quoting the police or other similar department from a press conference. It sounds like police press conference legalese. I don't see it in the article anywhere though so I'm not sure where the quote - if it is a quote - came from.
