Hmmmmmmm. A dozen or so posts ago, you claimed you could produce your
autobiography because you wrote well.
As a former teacher of English, I'd give you a D- or perhaps an F for
this gem of a paragraph.
Let's see...a quick scan...
...a group of people who's... interesting.
...who's idealogue... interesting.
...who's idealogue has been infiltrating... interesting.
...a group...their agendas... interesting.
...a group...suddenly have... interesting.
...other side...in their own... interesting.
You're some writer, Dave.
Cut me a break, I missed an "s" on the end of idealogue. Sometimes I
type faster than I should. This type of banter does not require my
full attention to grammatical detail.
Dave
Really? Gosh, I thought for sure the word you wanted was ideology or
ideologue. A careful writer would know the difference between idealogue
and ideologue.
And choosing the word idealogue was not your only error. Your subjects
and verbs are in disagreement, among other problems.
A group of people whose
whose idealogy
whose idealogy has been infiltrating
a group...its agenda
a group ....suddenly has...
other side...in its own...
Had you been in one of the bonehead English classes I taught, you would
have received a D- if I were being charitable, but, more likely, an F.
