All wheel trims are been removed of vehicles.
What on earth is "are been" supposed to mean? What a horrible confusion of present and past tenses! Presumably it's either "have been" or "are being", but not being in the area at present I can't get out to inspect passing buses to confirm which it is! (Yes, paid up member of grumpy old gits' pedants club here - sorry!!)
Couldn't resist doing this thread after seeing this exchange in the First vehicle changes thread lol, don't you just hate it when someone obsessed with English tells you off for doing something you thought sounded right. Personally, I think the entire English language needs re-writing as it's way too complex, you've got too many words that sound exactly the same, but with a different spelling for a start, there you have it, my first example, or should that be their you have it. Then you've got all the rubbish surrounding this tense, that tense and the other tense, tense isn't it when you get some English expert telling you off. Then you've got the rules about putting an i before another letter for all words bar one and so on. English has far too many rules, way too many complex spellings with words that sound nowhere near how their spelt, and basically has been drawn up by some so called intelligent person who hasn't followed his intelligence and thought 'not everyone will find this easy to learn, maybe I should simplify it'. The SAS have an excellent, plain, straight forward saying, KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!
