In two separate reports of the eleven deaths in the K2 disaster, I’ve seen a version of this sentence:
The reported toll from the avalanche was the highest from a single incident on K2 since at least 1995, when seven climbers perished after being caught in a fierce storm.
If eleven is still more than seven, then that sentence is incoherent. (It comes from an AP report by Stephen Graham.)
And, yes, I do understand that grammatical errors are less important than mountaineering deaths. And, yes, I do seem to having a crotchety day :(
