From tony@math.sunysb.edu Sat Nov 25 22:54:53 2000 Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2000 14:28:00 -0500 (EST) From: Tony Phillips To: Colm Mulcahy Cc: Tony Phillips Subject: Re: http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~tony/whatsnew/oct00/mulcahy6.html Dear Colm 1. I fixed the 5.5 error. 2. I worked on the grammar a bit. There is a distressing (to an old pedant like me) P-C tendency to use "they" as a shortcut for the ungaingly "he or she". Grammatically it just does not work when the antecedent (e.g. "the victim") is a singular noun. It took 5 or 6 small repairs to fix these occurences. I made them on mulcahy6a.html for your approval. If you look at the source you can see exactly what got changed: I commented out the old. 3. As I can recall, we have patched mulcahy 4,5,6 and that's it. Correct? 4. Please check the 3 pages one last time, decide if you go along with the G-C alterations in 6a, and let me know. Best regards. I'm currently struggling with Bill Casselman on the text for the December piece. Tony
