1/2 English lesson for crebbs (I'm only going to bother with one
sentence)::
"because fox viewer's estimation of actors opinions are the same as
tom's evident opinion of published author's opinions."
"Fox viewer's estimation" is wrong. Either it needs an article
("a fox viewer's estimation") or it should be plural ("fox viewers'
estimation"). "actors opinions" is possessive; possessives require
an apostrophe. You have "estimation," your subject, as singular,
and "are," your verb, as plural; pick one.
I won't bother getting into the content or the phrasing, both of
which could use work.
Try to do better in threads where you are questioning someone else's
knowledge of the English language. -tom
\_ 1st, as if you cared, the statements above were made
*before* the conversation degenerated into said questioning.
2nd, our disagreement was one of vocabulary, not syntax. Quite
different areas, and just because you are wrong about one, after
making such a big point of it, hardly warrants this childish
posting on the other.
Finally, I tend not to proof, or care much about the syntax of,
my offhanded, meant to be anonymous (thank you very much), throw
away responses to the motd (which this was). Yet Another reason
to post anonymously is not having to deal with morons who think
pointing out errors of syntax/typos gives them points. -crebbs |
