OfTheSoul	N/A	posted 9-May-2003 8:33pm To Anoddoblivion: You seemed to have not completely read my message, which included: "To everyone else", there at the bottom of the same note. It's changed now, I hope satisfactorily.
anoddoblivion	old	posted 9-May-2003 8:29pm No matter if pterodactyl is correct or not, the question is a little akward anyway, and I think needs to be put a different way.
OfTheSoul	old	posted 9-May-2003 8:28pm To Pterodactyl: I'm sorry, I believe you stand corrected in your statement to Zang. The text books teach that third person pronouns can have mixed singular and plural references where it is needed. To everyone else: Okay, I'm changing it.
Zang	old	posted 9-May-2003 8:12pm pterodactyl: Uh...I don't think so...
pterodactyl	old	posted 9-May-2003 5:31pm Zang: yes, there is something wrong with the grammar. "One" cannot consider "themselves"! Canadians can consider themselves; an individual can consider herself or himself.

kaleb777	old	posted 9-May-2003 10:47am Rewrite this so non-Canadians can participate.

Biggles	old	posted 9-May-2003 6:35am I think a lot of non-Canadians will not read this in such a way as they can feel that they could participate. The way Zang suggests you phrase the question would clear that up. If you change that, this may work better as a hypothetical question than a "language" one.
Zang	old	posted 9-May-2003 5:28am There's nothing wrong with the grammar. Although, I suppose the question would be clearer (and less awkward) if it were: "If you were a Canadian, would you consider yourself to be an American?"
pterodactyl	old	posted 8-May-2003 11:09pm The question is not grammatically correct. I'm not even sure what you should ask instead. Maybe "Do Canadians consider themselves Americans?" which seems kind of odd.
OfTheSoul	old	posted 8-May-2003 10:13pm To Iseult: Hi. Okay, to your question 1: Shhhh. Please save your response for the qualified survey. To your question 2: For those who are not Canadian, I feel I have provided them a question, so they too can participate. It's the first group of words you see when you view the surveys - the main question. Right?
Zang	old	posted 8-May-2003 9:22pm ...close enough...
Iseult	old	posted 8-May-2003 7:59pm Do you mean as American of the United States of the America? What if you're not Canadian, what do you answer then?
