What if I don't have the magazine? How would I know that's what you meant? BTW, it's not polite to "shout". And it was: "-- Atkins is a 4-based Huh???? approach that encouragers (sic) eating nutrition - dense I assume you meant to say "nutrition-dense"? If you combine two words like that, you should hyphenate them without any extra spaces. foods. You do not need packed (sic) products "Packaged" products, perhaps? to do Atkins correctly, but we do offer food productcts (sic) that make it even easier." What are you NOT UNDERSTANDING????? You have to ask?? The ability to express oneself clearly is the key to effective communication. Your posting style makes the reader work too hard to grasp your meaning.

Hi Ken,

I haven't had this much : trouble understanding a sentence since my stroke 6 years ago ... Sure it was from U.S. News and World Report..... it was on the BACK. Look at ON THE BACK!!! And it was: "-- Atkins is a 4-based approach that encouragers eating nutrition - dense foods. You do not need packed products to do Atkins correctly, but we do offer food productcts that make it even easier." What are you NOT UNDERSTANDING????? "Whatever it took to help Taiwan defend theirself." - G.W. Bushisms, 2001 The problem is that what you write often comes out like, well, a Bushism. Whether or not that is the result of your stroke, or English not being your primary language or whatever is irrelevant. For example, up above you wrote: "90% of the pamper in this UG seems to concern "cheese", "oil" an packed goods, etc which is FRONT of the -- or is next to the half front in of "The Pyramid"." "Pamper?" From the context you seem to have meant "people". "packed goods" From the context that must have meant "packaged goods". "next to the half front in of "The Pyramid"." This one is pretty much a mystery. It can't be untangled. Even the material you appear to have taken from a written source is mangled (see below): "-- Atkins is a 4-based approach that encouragers eating nutrition - dense foods. You do not need packed products to do Atkins correctly, but we do offer food productcts that make it even easier." "4-based"? Perhaps this was supposed to be "4 phase"? "packed" instead of "packaged" again. There are also a couple of typos, but everyone makes those mistakes from time to time. To wrap this up Ken, your posts can be hard to unravel. That sometimes causes your point to be lost. Spending a bit of time proof reading them might be a good idea. Take care, Carmen |

The paragraph appears to have been filtered through translation software like babelfish. http://babelfish.altavista.com A source link would go far in helping folks better understand your message.

What are you NOT UNDERSTANDING????? -- Ken Here's what I don't understand: "4-based approach" huh? It's based on the number 4? 4 what? 4 days? 4 pencils? 4 cowboy hats? "eating nutrition - dense foods" Do you mean "nutrition dense foods"? Or do you mean "eating nutrition, for example, dense foods"? Or "eating nutrition and dense foods"? "You do not need packed products" What the heck is a packed product? Is that a product that has been packed? Packed as in "packed down" like with soil? Packed as in when you pack for a trip? "food productcts" I don't recognize the word "productcts." -- Michelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws. |
