I've been disgusted with the
bulk of the US press for years for their borderline illiteracy,
thoroughgoing innumeracy, and ill acquaintance with logic. And they're
the professionals.
I echo this sentiment. I suppose it comes from a grammar school education and being
picky about speling.

Hi,
the circumstances of taking the photo may have prevented any real sharpness
being achieved (eg. Robert Capa's D-Day landing shots), but this does
not detract from the impact.

did not cause their unsharpness (although

Your examples really make me smile. We see the same process going on in
Norwegian language. Eg., just before a recent journalists' strike there was
a first page headline reading two more papers on strike monday.
The journalists bargained for higher salaries and six weeks holidays per
year.
Jostein,
Your comments remind me of when I was at university in 1961. I had as a
room mate a Norwegian. Through Wiggo, I met several others. I was astounded
with their command and usage of the English language! Later, I found out
that it was taught from and early age.
Regards,
Bob

All basically agreed with (see below), but this only applies to those
whose command of English (or indeed any language being used as the basis
for this comment) is suitable. My French is passable, but I fear I would
easily miss the nuances of sarcasm and other forms of wit if I partook of

My cameras are all manual rewind and I don't rewind in the middle of a roll

Speling?
How about such fatuous use of the language as:
Commonly in Australian newspapers, when postage rates are increased -
The price of a 40c stamp will increase tomorrow to 45c. No it won't!
The cost of posting a standard letter will increase, but a 40c stamp
will still cost 40c.
In agreement with Rob more than JCO here! A good portrait, for
example, may be soft everywhere, _except_ the eyes, which should be
perfectly clear and sharp. Which is why a soft filter is so popular
for this type of work. On the other hand, if looking at hard-edged
objects, for example

When I was young, I got English lessons at school from age 11.
Today, kids get them from age 7.
On tv, all but children programs are texted rather than dubbed. Guess that
counts for something too. Anyway, as a former teacher myself, it's nice to
hear that many Norwegians can communicate well

My suggestion, don't go too far down this road. When it is supposed to be

my recently acquired and recently servised Super A has developed a problem
