    They don’t mention the conspiracy theory: this vessel was owned by the founder of Autonomy software, which died in the accident.

    Ha! The which/who failure makes it sound like the vessel died in the accident.

    The same day, the ex vice president of Autonomy software, was killed in a car accident.

    And this one sounds like ‘the same day’ is someone’s name, and that person was killed in a car accident. What a weird name – and I once worked for a guy named Ransom Love, and this one still stands out. Do they shorten the name to ‘Sam’?

      Some languages depend not on a specific order of words in a sentence and everyone you meet on the internet is not a speaker of native English.
