OT: This must be one of the hardest headlines to parse for a non-native speaker of English I have encountered on the front-page of HN.
My wife, a Dane with a Masters in English Literature... "that's an appalling headline." The author has smashed in every keyword in an attempt to hook people from the beginning with the IKEA keyword.
Ideally it would be something like "Ingka Centres, IKEA's shopping mall arm, plans U.S. entry in major play"
I expected more from Reuters. The author is Swedish, and it's not even a sentence structure that makes sense in Scandinavia.
Normally I just go straight to the comments on HN for the useful content. And in this case, the better headline is already posted in the comments...
P.S. Kudos to Reuters for a proper tracking opt out UX!
