chuckwoww Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 bibblies said:As it stands, I think LiveStockLover's query simply indicates nothing more than a dislike of meaningless "filler" words or phrases that add nothing to the meaning of what is being said. Basically, your English was fine. In fact, I would go as far to venture that it's perfectly good. Oh, I can't keep this up! But he's fuming now!:: This kind of thing For what it's worth I would venture to suggest that you may well have put your finger on the crux of the matter.

Hugh_Hoy Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Upon reflecting, indeed, the diagnosis would appear to be correct. :: Hopefully, having put that part of the thread to rest, I am still wrestling with the nick "LiveStockBroker". Is he a "live" stock broker, as opposed to a dead one? Or, is he a broker of livestock? HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumsoda Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hi drogon (not to be confused with his cousin dragon) :D Would love to share a fine, expensive beverage with you at that most appropriately named venue, during your upcoming visit in May. Don't let the School Teachers get under your skin. Who gives a flyin' fark if it was not technically perfect ? As one of the Joe average "dumb mongers" I could comprehend your post and by the way your Anglit is much better than my "croaking ribbit"!!!!! Having said that, let me say this.....this is a thread about nightlife in Thailand, so, what's say we forget about the P.C. sentence construction......forget about "English that sucks" 555 and concentrate on Thai's that......??? Cheers Dumsoda :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 This post is not meant to be snide or critical. Instead, it is meant to be informative: For Suadum and others interested in the proper use of ellipsis (periods used to indicate a trailing thought, either in the middle of a sentence or at the end of a sentence): The MLA Style Manual states: "When the ellipsis coincides with the end of your sentence, use three spaced periods following a sentence period--that is, four periods, with no space before the first." (p. 76) Example: Ah, those were the good old days. . . . When the ellipsis at the end of your sentence is followed by a parenthetical reference, remember that a period must follow the parenthetical reference. Example: Early in Robertson Davies' novel The Rebel Angels, the narrator describes her reaction to her lover's absence: "All through the summer vacation I had fretted and fussed and hoped for a postcard from wherever he might be. . . " (1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
