Adjust them again.

Now with that out of the way, lets adjust our thinking caps, OK ?



Start here.

First.. Mr. or Mrs. Jones stated as an unqualified fact, that there can be only one(1) sole subsidiary.



Yes he did and quite correctly.

I pointed out that if that is true, the China people are doing something very wrong.



Again, you are correct. It is never a good idea to use translated foreign expressions in support of proper English grammar.

Second..For all my 54 yrs on Earth, I do not believe I ever invented a word with a meaning for everyone else too use. Being as this phrase has probably been around longer than myself, I would have assumed,(evidently wrong) that anyone doing trading with stocks, would have known what "sole subsidiary" meant.



Everybody knows what a sole subsidiary is and what it means. The objection to the usage was contained however in a post specifically devoted to the misuse of the English language by Newton. It was a perfectly valid critique and I wonder why anybody took offense. Newton has always been a complete embarrassment when it comes to literacy.

Third..If they already knew what it meant, but argrued the point anyway, too me that would seem as if someone was just trying to inflame the board.



If the board is going to get in an uproar over a criticism of Newtons misuse of the language, then the board needs to take a chill pill. Get it?
