comfortability?????!!!!!! (Reply to this comment)

Um, try just comfort? Heehee. Your last-minute correction led to your only stilted language. You did great. Your cat sounds like fun.

Thanks for the comment, however, what few
brain cells I had left are now GONE !

Oooops - should say "the few brain cells
that remained have left the building"

It was fun !

Nice E-Priming! (Reply to this comment)
by proeditor
Thanks for taking the challenge -- hope you didn't lose too many brain cells! I like the fact that you still wrote in clear English -- when some people write in E-Prime, their writing gets too stilted.

I have the Sherpa and used it once to fly with my 17-pound Jack Russell Terrier. I have the large size and still found it a bit small for the dog, but a bit big to get under the seat. Also, though it is reinforced well, it still tended to cave in when we carried the dog in it. At least it allowed us to bring our precious family member with us to visit grandma in Florida!

thanks again for participating in my write-off.

Nice going, Mike. This e-prime business even makes reviews on pet products sound great, huh? :) Didn't find any errors, so you did good. Thanks!

A Excellent Reponse To The Challenge (Reply to this comment)
by purplewiz
And also an excellent review of the product! I salute those who sallied forth into battle against the forbidden verb :-).

However, I did discover one use of it during my read - towards the end, you included the sentence:

"Your pet will be comfortable and you CAN relax a little more knowing this."

I believe "will be" violates the e prime directive :-).

I was going to do a review of Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the NIght" for the E-prime write-off, but then I realized I wouldn't be able to write "Doo-be-doo-be-doo."

Thanks for the good wishes. Being 50 doesn't hurt....yet.

From Brooklyn, eh? We used to live in Fort Greene on Clinton Ave. at De Kalb about four blocks east of Pratt Institute.

cheers,

nick

And congratulations on taking proeditor's challenge! I was too chicken to try it myself.

Good content on how to choose the product as well!
