Hallo:
I am still struggling with the "what to post and what not to post"
thing. I've violated it a couple of times, myself, by accident ;?(.
When I saw the original post on "me versus I," I interpreted the post as
a question about the role of the technical writing professional in
protecting the language and adhering to *somebody's* standards on
grammar. In this light, I thought the issue was pertinent and responded
to it.
However, taken as a simple discussion over predicate adjectives,
subjects versus objects, etc. (which was not how I responded), then the
ADMIN has an excellent point.
Is it okay to pose a question to the group about what can be posted??
In any event, I'm glad we have what seems to be a fair and diligent
moderator.
Sean
