A CNN headline this morning:World's Oldest Person Dies. Now, isn't this impossible? As soon as this nice lady died, there was instantly another world's oldest person. It's not like when a government official or someone dies and they have to decide the order of succession - this is instantaneous, you know. "World's oldest person" is really an ongoing thing. Maybe I'm nitpicking, but shouldn't the headline be "Most Recent World's Oldest Person Dies"?
