how is that grammatical for you? i don't know any people who would think that sentence is ok.

"here" has no referent coherent to the sentence - when you take it to mean rafo, the "in america" renders the sentence ungrammatical...because rafo isn't in america, and that makes the sentence disjointed... i'd have said "only by americans is esslemont misspelled here"


It was part of the ironic comment, miki :P But I do know quite a few Tennesseans that say something similar to that, though. Not that this says anything good about my native state, of course... ;)

well, in that case your answer for how could be "because of tn native speakers of engish" perhaps... temeraire - 06/06/2012 03:38:03 AM 1010 Views
