Subject: English Corrections Author: Jeanine [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:38:41 09/21/02 Sat In reply to: chadi 's message, "For your own knowledge only (shhht...don't tell anybody!)." on 23:06:33 09/20/02 Fri Allow me to return the favor and help you with your English! I'll ignore the omission of capital letters and proper punctuation in your post, and will restrict my corrections to the areas of incorrect grammatical usage and spelling. "i don't think that you don't have enough intelligence to realize..." = I don't think you have enough intelligence to realize... "she had also a third mistake..." = she had also made a third mistake, or she also had a third mistake "I didn't realize her cédille mistake" = I didn't see (or notice) her cedilla mistake (you can't "realize" a mistake because "realize" is an intransitive verb) "I wasn't making full attention" = I wasn't paying full attention (you can't "make" attention) "...your friend's too correct French." = ...your friend's overly correct French. "...put informally an apostrophe instead..." = ...informally put an apostrophe instead... "this isn't to your level" = you aren't at this level, or this is beyond your level I'm glad we had this opportunity to help each other with our language skills! Au revoir!
