Quote:PLEASE ANALYSE Joe's posts. Pick up one of the posts
It would not be right to offer a critique on the efforts of a fellow contributor (we never do that here) save to state what is plain to see: young Joe is one of the more promising cadets from the colonial education system, and is apparently well on the way to mastery of American English. When he achieves that, he can begin to try his hand at the real thing.
Oh wise man. First, kudos go to you for your self-discipline; second, it should be understood that such analysis is no more a critique in common sense, rather, it stands quite normally an academic discussion. Take it in the spirit of a true scholar, McTag. A scholarly criticism with goodwill urges everyone to make progress.
As I have said, Joe's English is excellent, which does not mean his English is consummate, however. No one is linguistically consummate except the AUTHOR of the UNIVERSE. Alas, He never speaks to us directly in English.
