TG interview in Autosport magazine

[Claus Hansen]

I have just finish reading the interview with TG in autosport magazine...

Its sad to read how little he is thanking the Champcar owners, teams, for making the merger happen this year, looking at it, through grid size, the IRL would have had a 17 car grid this years, and if he was not racing his own team, a 15 car grid, without the Champcar teams... Champcar had 14 cars at spring training at Sebring... Looking a bit hard on it, he should be a bit moore welcomingen to the champcar teams, when he speaks to the press, or mabye in 13 years time, the grid size is 0 !

Or perhaps the Champ Car teams should be happy there was an open wheel series for them to join after their management team ran their organization into the ground?

Point is, who cares. Really at this point the people still playing the blame/credit game need to get a life. This is business, not tiddlywinks. Why does anyone need to go around thanking anyone. They get paid to race, that is thanks enough.

Good point Hoss Ghoul...

But, there is no point in my post, where am putting any blame on anybody... I just read the story, and did not like it...

I was just "speaking to the board" as it where...not you specifically, Claus.

Cheers.

While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends, a college student led the way into the den. "What is the big brass gong and hammer for?" one of his friends asked. "That is the talking clock," the man replied. "How's it work?""Watch," the man said and proceeded to give the gong an ear shattering pound with the hammer. Suddenly, someone screamed from the other side of the wall,.WoW gold (http://www.gogoer.com), "Knock it off, you idiot!

Best post of the year. I can't agree more.

2. Description of errors in students’ English writing “An error can be defined as a deviation from the norms of the target language”. It takes place as a result of lack of knowledge. It represents a lack of linguistic competence .A mistakes occurs when learners fail to perform their competence.Shaiya gold (http://www.fast-wowgold.com/shaiya-gold.htm)3. Problems involved in students’ writing 3.1 Improper choices of words In writing, quite a number of students fail to choose and use the correct and appropriate English words. They could not discriminate the synonyms. The following examples are taken from students’ writings:fly for fun gold (http://www.fast-wowgold.com/flyff-gold.htm)(1) In area, China is the third largest state in the world.(2) The program has won the support of the whole land.(3) China is my native nation.(4) The company is of country-owned enterprise.(5) They lived in a little town.(6) I can never forget the small town where I spent my happy childhood.The above sentences are unacceptable. Students mingle the meaning of words. Country, nation, state and land have more or less the same denotation and may all be translated into guojia in Chinese, but their connotations are quite different. Country refers to an area of land and its population and government, nation emphasizes the people of a country, state refers to the government or political organization of country, and land is less precise but more literary and emotive than country. Small and little are often interchangeable, but there is some difference in emotional coloring between them. Small is objective, while little may imply a feeling of fondness. Therefore, the above sentences could be revised as the following :( 1) In area, China is the third largest country in the world.(2) The program has won the support of the whole nation.(3) China is my native land.(4) The company is of state-owned enterprises.(5) They lived in a small town.(6) I can never forget the little town where I spent my happy childhood.EVE ISK (http://www.just4gold.com)3.2 Problems involved in collocation of words Wrongly collocating words is very common in English writing. Students have little awareness of the collocation of words. Just look at the following examples selected from students’ writings :( 1) Nowadays, the traffic in big cities is getting more and more crowed.In this sentence, heavy should replace the word traffic. In English, crowed could not be used to modify “traffic”, although we may guess the meaning, it is wrong to English-speaking people.(2) For some students, the tuition feesare so expensive that they cannot afford them.age of Conan gold (http://www.fast-wowgold.com/age-of-conan-gold.htm)In English speaking country, they used to say high or fees rather than expensive or cheap fees. So expensive should be replaced by high.(3) Some university graduates find that the opportunities to get a good job are becoming smaller and smaller. Opportunity usually used along with the word such as rare, scanty, and poor. The word smaller should be replaced by poorer.twelve sky gold (http://www.fast-wowgold.com/twelve-sky-gold.htm)

Heh, I'm sure you're breaking my balls for the posts above. Agreed. Lack of appropriate question marks, poor use of commas...and "where" instead of were....Perhaps more?

Oh well, I've had a fifth tonight as well, sue me.

Do you have something to add, or are you merely the grammar nazi?

P.S. How 'bout sum paragraphs, dude...
