How did you take my “I love Mark Steyn” ... and think that I was calling him an overpaid hack. It may not have been a perfect sentence ... but the intent was clear ... I was obviously addressing the subject of the article. I thought this was Free Republic not English Comp 101!
There is only one “he” in your paragraph, and that’s Steyn. Naming a subject before you refer to him with a pronoun isn’t English Comp 101. It’s English Comp Grade Three.
Just goes to show how badly one can mangle a pronoun....
(I thought you were calling Steyn a “hack” too.)
It’s exactly as the sentence reads.
“Mark Steyn” antecedent, “he pronoun for Mark Steyn.
Marching around here constantly telling the kids, It sounds like a good story But I just don’t know who (the hell) is who with all those pronouns.
Just say it, type it- “Always thought Brando was...” It’s three more letters, but, I guess a whole lot of thinking work you’d rather have your audience do, like the kids around here.
Call me a pain, but I try to talk to kids, and I tell them directly what will make them desirable to be around when theyre grown up. And mumbling isn’t it.
I see that you're new here. Freepers never pass up an opportunity to pick a nit.
