One thing that I can't stand is people who come to Canada, have lived in Canada for 3 years and still can't speak english. This here from a second year university student, for an english class: ----------------------------------- jamonathin Sun Mar 27, 2005 8:38 pm ----------------------------------- I didn't think it was that bad, and im in unversity english gr.12, but ive alse squeeked by every year with a 50ish so that wont help mcuh, but i didn't really catch that terrible of english. :? ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Mar 27, 2005 9:25 pm ----------------------------------- I challenge you to find me a grammatically correct sentence in that entire essay. ----------------------------------- apomb Sun Mar 27, 2005 9:35 pm ----------------------------------- "'If we'd tried to do the Hydra by hand, we could maybe have done six heads, not 30,' says Roger Gould, supervisor of computer-generated imagery." (Robertson). ??? oh wait thats not his words ... sorry ----------------------------------- rizzix Sun Mar 27, 2005 9:35 pm Re: Englilish ----------------------------------- Canada for 3 years and still can't speak english. more like can't write english :wink: ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Mar 27, 2005 9:41 pm ----------------------------------- You've got me there :p ----------------------------------- Andy Sun Mar 27, 2005 9:58 pm ----------------------------------- if you ignore the substitution of CG for Computer Graphics, the only sentence i can find is "It is easy to make a stunt scene by using CGs." ----------------------------------- Pickles Mon Mar 28, 2005 2:10 am ----------------------------------- I could easily write a better paper than that in 20 minutes. ----------------------------------- md Mon Mar 28, 2005 2:13 am ----------------------------------- if you ignore the substitution of CG for Computer Graphics, the only sentence i can find is "It is easy to make a stunt scene by using CGs." No it should really be It's easy to make stunt scenes using computer graphics. I mean, you can make more than one, and "by using CGs" is certainly not correct. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Fri Apr 01, 2005 6:25 pm ----------------------------------- if you ignore the substitution of CG for Computer Graphics, the only sentence i can find is "It is easy to make a stunt scene by using CGs."

To fix yours: It is easy to make stunt scenes using computer graphics. Avoid the use of contractions in a formal essay. Mind you, I don't even know if this is a formal essay or not. I can't see any attached files. What is up with this new theme? ----------------------------------- person Fri Apr 01, 2005 7:53 pm ----------------------------------- y have we all taken interest in Englilish? ----------------------------------- zylum Fri Apr 01, 2005 8:02 pm ----------------------------------- lol!!! you should submit that to engrish.com ----------------------------------- Aoi Tue Apr 05, 2005 3:13 pm ----------------------------------- wow that's really sad, dan can even do better
