Indeterminate pronouns should be clarified

posted in media |

Just when they thought things could not degrade any further, it broke. I hate indeterminate pronouns; let’s do a retake on that. Just when the “people in Calgary” thought things (emergency things) could not degrade any further, “the railway bridge” broke. There. Somewhat improved. Railway bridges don’t break, as a rule, especially with several loaded tank cars stuck in the middle. Things can get worse, of course. The cars may fall into the raging river, and float downstream to break other bridges, but that hasn’t happened, yet.

Never fear, though. The Stampede will be held, no matter what. Countless young cows are going to be upset when they get the news.

In the realm of political setbacks, this provincial government went toe to toe with the federal level over the long gun registry, and got kicked in the shins by the judiciary. Could have been worse; one of the (now) unlisted firearms might have been used to pierce the balloon. The battle isn’t over; some lawyer is cheering and planning an extended cruise with the thought of even more fees. The rest of us just continue counting the days until the next chance to vote.

I’m waiting for a major upgrade to my smart phone OS. The cryptic message from the corporate server says “Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later.”  My take on the situation is that every time I check, I’m requesting service. That means that they have me in the queue MANY times. I will settle for one update, and the others can be flushed to give a chance to someone else.
