What is most fantastic is the number of errors in that single paragraph alone:

1. "an estimated" (not "a estimated")
2. "skycrappers" ;)
3. "will be built" (not "would be built")

not to say anything of the fact that it's appallingly badly written and clearly comes straight off a press release.

Haseeb Haider - whoever you are - you should be strung up and shot. And your subeditor. And your editor.

If Emirates Today results in the financial ruin of the absymal Khaleej Times, I for one will be sending garlands and crates of (date) champagne to Awarq Publishing.

Economist Phil Miller did some further research into the question of what is a skycrapper.

His best guess is this product of the U.S. government.

Reckon they outta build a KT hall of fame .... just to highlight some of the Fave No. 1's journalistic masterpieces from over the years!

Additionally, the bozos that put the 2dhs. roll of toilet paper together should be given a Pulitzer each for their indelible effect on human society!

Ugh!!
