it seems like most of these can be classified as (1) non-native English speaker hypercorrects his grammar in attempt to appear fluent (2) native English speaker hypercorrects his grammar in an attempt to appear erudite (3) underinformed reporter/clerk/historian bungles the past perfect tense in an attempt to hide the fact that he doesn't really know when an event occurred or for how long (4) internet person makes a simple typo and would have used better phrasing if he would have had been bothered to review his post before hitting submit. I guess this Phil McNulty guy falls into categories 2 and 3?

This male was known as Yoshito Daisuke and the room he was placed within was probably the coldest room throughout the entire building itself. If anything were to had been thrown into the room, the sudden contact with any single surface would cause the object to instantly turn to solid ice on the floor. The reason the male was still able to sit there and shiver from the intense cold was due to him being the phoenix.

An architect from a nearby community who had experienced temporary paralysis volunteered his expertise in creating a new floor plan with a more open design. The weekend after the accident, when Marcella's baby shower was to have had been held, friends and relatives were packing all the couple's belongings and moving them to the storage facility run by Marcella's oldest brother.
