They can destroy an argument by leaving out vital sentences and that can make one look stupid.<br /><br />A perfect example was in today's paper when I quoted Andrew Brown, the Clarence coach. They cut out the last part of one particular sentence and it didn't make sense (about Clarence asking Rangers questions and seeing what answers they would come up with). It made Brownie and me look a bit stupid.<br /><br />In another recent match report, some sub-editor took it upon himself or herself to alter some punctuation and they made it incorrect. As a former English teacher, I think I can write acceptable English and I don't know why anyone would change the punctuation I use. They obviously didn't know the rules about apostrophes of possession and they changed the correct usage to incorrect usage.<br /><br />That's the sort of thing I have had to put up with and so past experience has taught me never to try and write an article for The Mercury that requires a sequential, logical argument because it may not end up that way in print.<br /><br />I've had my moan and I'll put away the keyboard for now.Walternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-28304827077637598292009-08-21T18:01:46.194+10:002009-08-21T18:01:46.194+10:00John, I will be putting up match reports of Eagles...John, I will be putting up match reports of Eagles v Uni and Lions v Olympic.

Luckily We play at 2:30 so if I shower quickly I still can, means I'll miss drinks at the 'Bowlo'. I would be very dissappointed if I was playing the late game at Pontville.Hugohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013695405216553899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-15806421732256173492009-08-20T21:17:52.382+10:002009-08-20T21:17:52.382+10:00Walter you are spot on with your comments, sadly t...Walter you are spot on with your comments, sadly those who run things have a long way to go with promotion of the world game in this little corner of Australia. The more debate and open frank discussion the better, well done.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948642829158265736noreply@blogger.com
