Oh, "wot she DOES"? That's a curious use of tense there, Dave. We have
Duck and Sid screaming that you actually meant the other, incorrect,
tense. This is a bit embarrassing.

[...]


Whoosh!

The duck realizes he can't support his claim. Again.

Bye bye, better luck next time!

Or acknowledging a possibility. "I do it this way, maybe you would do it
differently". Right?

"If you're going to write, perhaps you would do it some other way". Not
should. I'm not suggesting he should do it, but rather acknowledging the
possibility of him doing it some way.

"I like using a bellow for macro, but perhaps you would do it some other
way".

Not sure it's written correctly, but I know that "should" isn't correct.

Sorry, I guess it was Dave who was ribbing you. Sid, like me, was trying to
help you see the light.

Well, it seems those that claim themselves to be English "experts" in
this group fail to provide much in the term of support for their claims.

As I've said, I have no problem admitting to missing a cultural
reference. That happens. Even so, with such a reference in mind, the
sentence was still riddled with grammatical and structural errors that
the fine people rushing headlong to support good old drunk Dave is
failing to account for

Jonas is somehow under the impression that a cultural reference must
be couched in a grammatically correct way. He is wrong.

As Pogo said, "We have met the enemy and he is us".

We can't convince him of his error. We can't get no satisfaction.

I resemble that remark. ;-)

I thought you acknowledged that "should" is what you meant.
Only you can say whether you were suggesting or mandating.

"HOWDY!!!" Who says that in California, outside of the "Beverly

Though with Minnie Pearl, to those with sensitive ears it was more
likely to sound like "HOW-w-w-DEEE--E-E!!" at a pitch that would
sterilize all the squirrels in a 9 acre field.

If you were going current urban, I would expect to hear the pseudo

Well I would but I do have a set of bellows, I can't see how using a bellow for macro would work, can you explain how shouting at a small object makes it easier to photograph ?


Obviously, it scares the little critters into a pre focused spot.

I'm not an expert, but I'm not stupid either. There is a middle road

See, you're doing it again. Preaching to the converted. I am, as is Dave,
a native English speaker.

So it should be clear to you.......... blah blah blah

Seeing as you snipped the relevant bits and are clearly not listening to
everyone else in the group I'll leave you to your digging. Oz shouldn't be
