The delegates to the US had a really bad tense error in it.

I believe "through" in "through American Sign Language" was incorrect because people communicate "in" languages, not "through" them... idimoatically, it was incorrect. The Indian architecture question's eorror was "influences of the cultures of the region" because it doesn't specifically refer to WHICH region... the surrounding region, etc.

<p>Think about it, though. It was #15, which is only the third identifying errors question. A preposition error that nuanced is only going to show up in the last few--certainly not the first few. I put no error.</p>

<p>monkey one = no error.</p>

<p>anyone remember the question that had a semicolon that needed to be added</p>

<p>;</p>

<p>One can communicate "through" speech, "though" symbols, but not "through" a language</p>

<p>It was like like "they will do it, (another clause), (another clause) earlier this year." Will do was the error.</p>

<p>earlier this year means past, so it can't be will present.
And for communicate through, I can find examples in the NY Times and I believe the Times writers to be grammatically consistent (except arts and columns) so I put no error for that matter.</p>

<p>CAn one communicate "through" French?</p>

<p>But ASL is through your hands, not your mouth, like most languages.</p>

<p>I think, read the second definition of through on merriam webster</p>

<p>But ASL is through your hands, not your mouth like other languages.</p>

<p>yes, instead of speaking to someone in english, i sometimes want to communicate through french.</p>

<p>Think of it this way:</p>

<p>I can communicate through hand gestures, can't I?</p>

<p>yes, through is not an idiomatic error.</p>

<p>what were the improving paragraphs for the non-experimental. I remember having one on pyramids of giza and I don't remember the other one.</p>

<p>stupid random chance giving me writing experimental again.</p>

<p>What did everyone put for the one like "Blah blah blah no one changed the way I think of food like Julia Child"</p>

<p>I thought it was correct but I wasn't suure</p>

<p>this sounds stupid..but how do we know which one was our experimental one? is everyone's different?</p>

<p>gangsturrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr what was the improving paragraphs about? the one everyone else didn't have would be the experimental one.</p>

<p>Yeah, it was awful. It said she will give a puppet show earlier in the year.</p>

<p>did we reach a final conclusion about communicate through american sign language?</p>
