Your small font size changes your meaning.

The print is small and punctuation hard to read on the new incarnation of a local news website (http://koin.com - the new design has enough problems to drive me batty, and I hardly ever check them now - whereas I used to check them daily).

In this case, the article headline was "Autopsy: hypothermia killed stranded man". And what I saw, because of the font size, was "Autopsy, hypothermia killed stranded man".

I'm really, really glad that wasn't actually a comma. But still.

I hear it's very rare to survive an autopsy.
