Correct it please

Re: Correct it please


So why did terrorists attack THE US on Sep.11. 2001, killing more than 3000 US citizens? It is the terrorism THAT launched the actual war before THE US launched THE antiterrorism war. If America acted like what your pics did, its people will be doomed to be slaughtered by terrorists.


If America acted like what your pics did, Oristar, what are pics? And something doesn't "act like what." Something acts the way...

Hi Roberta,

The pics:

If Americans acted the way they are shown in your pictures, they would be doomed to be slaughtered by terrorists.

Not sure you need "doomed to be." Slaughtered might be enough.

Thanks for the pix, Oristar.

Hi Roberta, Did you mean "would" actually has included, more or less, the meaning of "be doomed", so it is redundant?

If Americans acted the way they are shown in your pictures, they would be doomed to be slaughtered by terrorists.

If Americans acted the way they are shown in your pictures, they would be slaughtered by terrorists.

Yes, Oristar. Doomed to be slaughtered is kind of redundant.

You could also say, If Americans acted the way they are shown in your pictures, they would be doomed.

Slaughtered by terrorists is more specific.

Where'd the pix go?

Oops, the pix are back. Sorry.

now i would never want to be considered 'picky' (pun intended) but is it 'pics', or 'pix'; make up your mind?!

Thanks Roberta.
