link.net... "Larry Roll K3LT" wrote: Yawn! Ok, apparently you need some help here. I *think* that what you meant to say goes something like this: "It's a pretty near given that neither I, nor many others in this newsgroup, would find anything like the death of someone else "hilarious."" (snip) You must be getting old or something, Larry. You gave up much too quickly. It was surely a mistake when she first wrote it, but a real surprise when she actually wrote it again without catching the mistake.

![]() "Kim W5TIT" wrote: Ask an English professor, Dwight. Writing is something I greatly enjoy, Kim. As written, your sentence, without the reference to others, basically says "it's a pretty near given that I would find anything like the death of someone else "hilarious."" Clearly, something else is needed to change that to fit your intent (for example, "...I would NOT find..."). With your reference to others, the missing "neither" is necessary (the basic "neither/nor" grammar rule, as in "neither I nor others would find"). Dwight Stewart (W5NET) http://www.qsl.net/w5net/ |
