Description

@hippietrail

This is common among non-native speakers whose first language is a Slavic language but probably others as well:

  • Here is another news.
  • There are many interesting news today.

Can be replaced by:

  • news report(s)
  • news story/stories
  • report(s)
  • piece(s) of news
  • some news

Depending on context.

"Many" be replaced by "a lot of".

I'll maintain a list of examples I find in the wild here:

  • In 2022 i read a news about Nikita Uvarov → In 2022 i read some news about Nikita Uvarov
