Hi Tony Jy laat my nou dink aan Punch: We have seen the enemy and they is us.?? : - ) ___________________________________________________________________ Leona Labuschagne, Translator???? |???? 083 302 2632??? |???? SA??? GMT +2 ? ? ? From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Tony Moen ? As mens gewoond is aan Germaanse tale, waar sulke diskordansies nie voorkom nie, sluk mens maar swaar aan die Engelse gewoonte om na die interpretasie van versamelname te kyk ipv die grammatikale vorm. ? Sien gister bv ¡°Argentina replace xxx with zzz in yyy team¡± op BBC se nuus. Dis mos nie ¡¯n besluit van die individuele spelers nie¡ ? Hulle is net so laks met voornaaamwoorde: ¡°Everyone must leave their books on their desks¡±. In die waan dat dit nie-seksistieser is nie, al word vroue in die VK nog steeds minder as mans vir dieselfde werk betaal. ? These humans are crazy, sou Obelix ges¨º het. ? ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Elise Engelbrecht via groups.io ? A group were seen? Ek dink nie ¡¯n mens kan die re?l vir ¡°number¡± oordra op ¡°group¡± nie. ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Kas Smit ?
? Daar is ook nog Fowler se kommentaaroor die getal van die woord ¡®number¡¯: As number deur ¡®a¡¯ voorafgegaan word, is ¡®number¡¯ meervoud, en as dit deur ¡®the¡¯ voorafgegaan word, is dit enkelvoud. Dit gaan oor waar die klem val. Dieselfde sal geld vir ¡®group¡¯. Kas ? Sent from for Windows ? From: Tony Moen ? Ek moet met Kas saamstem, maar ek hou nog steeds nie van die resultaat nie. Dit herinner my aan die vraag of ¡°Elliott [die verhuisingsfirma] is amazing¡± of ¡°Elliott are amazing¡± korrek is. Dit was jare gelede die firma se radioslagspreuk, en daar was blykbaar kritiek daarop. Waarna die firma iets prakseer het soos ¡°Whether you think Elliott is amazing or are amazing¡.¡± ? Mens kan sulke keuses tussen die duiwel en die diep blou see pypkan deur herformulering: ? The group, comprising people from common backgrounds and with shared experiences, meets to share their insights, attitudes, beliefs and views on a specific topic. Weglating van ¡°brought together¡± is geen verlies nie; ¡°the group meets¡± volg vanselfsprekend, en die komma voor ¡°and¡± kan ook maar waai. Die Amerikaners is dol daaroor (hulle noem dit die Harvard-komma), maar die Britte (wat dit die Oxford-komma noem) is nie: ¡°Strangely enough, while the comma is so named after the Oxford University Press, which requires it in its style guidelines, it¡¯s not exactly popular in Britain. The anti-comma camp is loudest there, and those who oppose this punctuation mark argue it¡¯s unnecessary and clutters up a sentence.¡± ( ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Kas Smit ? Group is 'n versamelnaam. Is en are is albei reg na gelang daarvan of jy group as 'n enkel ding sien of as bestaande uit 'n klomp enkelinge. In jou teks kom die meervoud baie sterk deur. Kas ?
