Overline for Parade story about Venus's transit of the sun:<p>"In two weeks, the planet Venus--named for the Roman goddess of love--will appear in a guise not seen by anyone now living."<p>My boyfriend came to me with this and said OK, you're the wordsmith and I know I'm just a crank, but look at this. Is it me or does this make no sense?<p>(I told him that the Snews desk would have collectively have gone on strike before we would've let that go. Only a slight exaggeration!)<p>Someone must need a reminder that "not" and "never before" aren't synonymous, I guess.
