Math Question For Clive. (1 Viewer)

I'm almost an engineer. If you talk to some other engineers, you will soon discover that english isn't part of the job description.

damn straight

I am shocked and horrified at your lack of regard for english, words are the core element of all life and activities... except drinking, with that, all bets are off.

At least I know how to use ellipsis properly.

 

[rific]

I hope that wasn't directed at me, because my usage is acceptable if you look at current theories on syntax. If, however, you did want to be entirely correct, you should have written that you know how to "use an ellipsis properly", it would have acted as a direct reciprocation to the singular usage involved in the preceding post.

lol, sorry, but I tried to make sense of all that mathsy stuff in this thread, that didn't happen so the english teacher in me came out.

 

[jumb]

I used the word ellipsis as a plural.

 

[rific]

lol, I'm not getting into this, so you go back to talking about maths and I'll promise not to start talking about directed language and the ir/relevancy of semantics in modern language. Deal?
