Subject: re: grammar question
Since we're talking grammar - here's one to run by you all.
A few weeks ago a potential client asked me why I had written him that
"I am a colleague of X's from BB College". He himself spoke rather
broken English, but insisted that in the course he had taken he had
been told this is wrong. I have mulled this over in my head since,
and have come to the conclusion that this is a matter of style? I
wouldn't say: "This is the cat of my daughter" but I could definitely
write something like the above. I think.
Has anyone some insight on this?
