Is there a community for got-a-stroke titles?

You might have low blood sugar. That title reads perfectly fine to me.

The Capitalization Of Each Word Is Annoying But Yes, It’s Grammatically Fine

Except the missing words and punctuation. Like

Edit: markup not working on ,?

Using the imperative form of the verb is totally fine, and it makes the headline feel more active.

The missing article is also a fairly common omission in headlines. That said, if they included it, they would use the US form, so "a union" instead of the British form, "an union."

This headline doesn’t use the imperative voice. It uses the present tense.
