But I'm pretty certain that Fernando in his heart of hearts knows how "you" should be spelt, especially in a presentation paper.

You really don't mean "ironical"! Are you a fan of Alanis Morissette, by any chance? SignatureJohn Briggs You make me feel a bit ashamed of my ignorance... Who is this person I'm supposed to be a fan of? - Kira > You make me feel a bit ashamed of my ignorance... Who is this person > I'm supposed to be a fan of? Canadian popular songstress. Her 1995 hit single was entitled "Ironic", and had the repeated line "Isn't it ironic?" Well, no - it wasn't, for the most part :-) SignatureJohn Briggs Thank you for the information... By the way, what do you think of the following idea: isn't it ironic that the word seems to have the similar root as "iron";)? |Thank you for the information... |By the way, what do you think of the following idea: isn't it ironic that |the word seems to have the similar root as "iron";)?

No it isn't :-( You are using a web based newsreader X-Newsreader: www.talkaboutculture.com which I have never heard of. They are absolutely the worst way of reading usenet newsgroups, which is why I use this sig. You should dig around the interface to get your netiquette right. Google also is a swine to get the netiquette right. :-( SignatureDave Fawthrop <dave hyphenologist co uk> Google Groups is IME the *worst* method of accessing usenet.

Well, What should I do about this, if I'm already registered here through Google, and I'm not exactly what you can call "competent" in using the Internet so far:( - Kira >> Hi, David!

I think "ironical" is a legitimate adjective - not that I can think of a use for it, offhand. SignatureJohn Briggs fernangeo@yahoo.com.br napisal(a): > Hi, frien > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Fernando I'm afraid you'll have to brush up your General English before taking up Academic English. You can make use of the Internet, e.g. the BBC Website, but I'd rather take private lessons than attend a course if I were you. Good luck! |
