I've heard on the radio lately about several recent "hit run" collisions in Philly. Although those incidents are horrible, that's not what I'm writing about.
Since when is a "hit and run" called a "hit run"?
We always said "hit AND run" or "hit & run" but now suddenly broadcasters on several stations have somehow decided that the crime is now called "hit run" or "hit/run." I'm sure the statute hasn't changed recently; it would have been on the PA legislature website or in the news.
So can anyone shed light on this? I know there are far more important things going on, but this is just an annoying little loose end that needs tying up.
