Nikon v Canon Color

You're not a photo journalist. No photo journalist would have such poor
command of English or ask such a pathetically naive question.

Why bother with the BS? Just ask a question if you wish, but do it without
pretense.

pssst:
it's called a Canon "shill".
Very common.

I see one comma splice. Where is the "poor command of English"?

Don't tell me it's the "that" instead of a "who", 'cause "that" ain't
wrong.

Technically not wrong, but no decent journalist would use that word
there. ("That" generally refers to objects, "who" or "whom" to persons.)

What a bizarre conclusion. You have used "decent" to mean "qualified"
or "professional", yet you criticize him for word choice. You equate
a casual newsgroup posting with writing for publication. You admit
the usage isn't wrong, but you don't admit that your hyperbolic
statement about his poor command is English was wrong and that his
question was inappropriate.

I didn't say anything about his poor command of English. That was
someone else.

And the guy *did* claim he was a journalist, after all. (A profession
that would seem to require a certain level of writing skill.)

David, I have to disagree with you on this one. He did say he was
a journalist, he never claimed to be fluent in English. I got the
impression reading his post he was not.

Despite what "us" native english speakers think, English is spoken by
relatively few people in the world.
