From The Houston Chronicle today:

Thrown bottle suspected in fatal crash

By Dale Lezon | Thursday, October 11, 2012

A woman died and two others were injured when a bottle may have smashed into their windshield, causing the driver to loose control and slam into a light pole early Thursday morning in southwest Houston, officials said.

Why? I had to study English all the way through school, from spelling in the 3rd grade to English Literature in college. Really, there was not much of a choice about it. Others can study as well, or be discriminated against and segregated by their lack of ability to use the language well.

Tolerance muddies the pool.

As Shakespeare said "much ado about nothing". As long as u get the point across grammar/spelling should not be an issue. Being borned in England, when I was there I was judged by my accent, my grammar, my spelling, the clothes I wore. This is one reason I live here. I hope yore thread is adequately addressed
by this response. This
is a good subject Milt
and I know your intentions are honorable/honourable!

I don't see a problem here. "Thrown bottle" is used as an indirect object in an assumed simple sentence. As in, "Someone's thrown bottle is suspected in fatal crash."

Or, more clearly, "Someone, whose thrown bottle smashed into their windshield, is suspected of causing a fatal accident." This would be using the TB as an indirect object with accident being the direct object in a complex sentence.

Really, although not technically correct, the original article conveys the thought better than either one of my sentences.

not the thrown bottle...
"the driver to loose control"
