ORIGINAL: rockspider Yes, shouldn't that say: "Do not need an editor?" No, it would be easier if she'd spelled out "He is". However, she indicates "He" as the subject with "is (understood with the apostrephe - s)", "can", and "does" as verbs following in succession. Ok, after all, I never really did get any real English lessons, so who am I to correct grammar? But for two hours a week for four years over 40 years ago, I don't really think I am doing that badly. It is accepted practice to spell out the words one through ten unless in a specific context (like 10-4, good buddy) or to denote something scientific (He was traveling at Mach 3). I would agree with that. You do really well. sunshine, the Grammar Teacher quote:
ORIGINAL: sunshinemiss He's literate, can write and spell...does NOT need an editor. That just gave me a giggle.
