    We don't need more of that military bullshit in the country. We have a democracy now. Just vote like a civilized person.

    Please note the following corrections carefully and avoid them in the future:
    1. What was in Kwame Nkrumah’s mind when he was undertaking such ambitious projects? —That we will one day need them because the economy of Gh ...

    You can be forgiven because you may have been confused by the teachings of Idris...
    Please write, " Do all Ghanaians know these?"
    Simply put, always use the item "do" for plural nouns and "does" for singular nouns....
    " Do ...

    Good grammar is very important.

  • IDRIS PACAS 9 years ago

    I deliberately chose to give answers to all my queries in sentence fragments, beginning with 'that'. Reread this article and all other articles and you'll notice that.

    Keep reading and correcting.

    Good day!

    Dear Brothers (Dr. SAS/Idris Pacs),

    I hope you two are doing just fine. I have taken note of your corrections, Dr. SAS, as well as of Idris' humble acknowledgement of them.

    However, I do want to stress here that there ...

    1.I think you should focus on the issue at stake, which has nothing to do with which rules are more difficult. The issue is Pacas' integrity as a grammar teacher, given the nature of the errors he makes.

    2. The reason why ...

    I'm not a grammar teacher and have never taught grammar anywhere. Apart the English classes I attended at the per-tertiary levels and the communication skills I did at undergraduate level, I didn't do English again.

    All your "corrections" are wrong!

    1.Know the difference between "cause" and "course".

    2. Names of subjects are proper nouns.

    3. You are not a grammar teacher, don't try to be one.

  • IDRIS PACAS 9 years ago

    Thank you for your presence.

    I made only two suggestions or corrections. My elementary grammar teacher told me that 'both' is used to describe two things in a positive sentence, whilst 'all' is used for three or more.

    I ...

    1. Have you given up on "course" and "cause"?
    2. You never grew beyond the scholarship of your elementary grammar teacher? Mind you, he was an "elementary" Grammar Teacher, not an advanced one!

    3. The fact that you had an ...

    1. Prove to me why 'its' is correct in that sentence, whether it's a nominal or a noun.

    2. Prove to me why 'both' is better in that context than 'all' is.

    Instead of exerting energy using somehow insulting words, I sugg ...

  • Dr. SAS, Attorney at Law 9 years ago

    1. Did you read my comment on "its"? Read it again.
    2. "All" is correct. "Both" is correct. "All" makes for emphasis in the context.
    3. You are a prophet in saying, "When you are coming home for Xmas...." I will be in Ghana ...

    Good morning!

    Do you Dr SAS in person?

    Dear Idris Pacas,

    Good day. How are you?

    I have not seen Dr. SAS in person. But we do talk once a while. He is a nice guy, you know.

    Of course, Idris Pacas, I have been having the same problems with a self-appointed ...

    Dear Brother Idris,

    You see the mistakes I made in "To PACAS: In-Text Editing"?

    I made the following glaring errors:

    I should have written "most competent" instead of "competent"; "well-informed writers" instead of ...

    Enough on grammar; grammar does solve the problems back home in Ghana.

    But what? For now, my T/LM will do.



    Please, ask me and I'll tell you.To me, your coming will be incomplete, if you bring no su ...

    Dear Idris,

    I think you have made a very powerful case for the declining state of affairs in Nkrumah's Ghana.

    This article should be the focus of discussion on our national media, tv, television, radio, etc. Let the you ...
