| Topic | 'Missing comma' in 1948 document leads to legal dispute over power lines |

I guess I don't understand how the comma or lack thereof changes the definition of "remove" The difference between "the right to trim, cut and remove [the debris]" vs. "the right to trim, cut [missing comma?] and remove [trees]" [brackets mine] is that the 1st interpretation means pretty much what it says - cut and remove debris. The second interpretation - adding a comma - gives the company the ability to use herbicides - or seemingly whatever they think will "remove" trees, when without the "missing" comma it seems to me the sentence is clearly about just "removing debris". --- Putin delenda est ...
