Adam,
I did read what you said and understood what you said (as well as your
grammar would permit). The problem is, despite what you intended to say,
your words say something different. You made mistakes, and screwed your
statement. Perhaps you could have a fine career as a Japlish to Engrish
instruction manual interpreter.
Interestingly ehough, I understood exactly what he wrote, and interpreted it
correctly.
You began your paragraph on the subject of Olympus 's 4/3 cameras thus,
"So Oly IS stuck with a small format sensor when the market is moving
seriously towards larger sensors. m43 will be a different case, in that
market the primary competition will be the small sensor 'bridge' P&S's,
not
DSLR's and m43 will have serious IQ advantages, particularly at high
ISO's."
If you mean to change the subject, then you need to begin a new paragraph,
that's why we use paragraphs. Your statement, on the tail of a
grammatically fault-ridden sentence, was that " m43 will have serious IQ
advantages, particularly at high ISO's." You didn't clearly and correctly
say what m43 had the advantage over, but a new paragraph wasn't begun so
it
follows that the subject of the paragraph must still have been Olympus
4/3.
Even though you made a passing reference to bridge cameras as market
competitors to m43, the faulty structure of that sentence made it a
self-contained statement and apparently not part of the ensuing
comparison.
The meaning might swing either way, but it was ambiguous and the only way
to
decipher it was to follow the grammar. That was wrong so it all went to
hell in a handbasket. BTW, as I write this, 'MS Word' is flagging your
sentence, demanding that I revise it.
Now that you've revisited your writings your intended meaning is clear
(maybe).
Don't blame me for the misunderstanding. You need to write better.
