Twisted English?

From a news item on today's Yahoo news.


"Explorer who first reached North Pole indisputably dies at 80"



(I think the word "indisputedly" is in the wrong place. He died "indisputedly" ? :)
Maybe they took his pulse?)

What do you think?

Misplaced words can cause much confusion.

They don't want any arguments about it - so you cannot dispute it! LOL

The case of someone who wants to sound learned?

Would you find me disagreeable were I to dispute them? *chuckling*
