On the digest, so:
1) Pro anything means you get MONEY (CASH) for WIN, PLACE or SHOW. Not a set
of tires and oil to be delivered later.
2) No Prepared and Modified at ProSolo. The Thunderbirds and Blue Angels only
do exhibitions, yet Joe Blow can do rolls in his Piper and make the crowd cheer
and he can use a postage stamp area set aside for acrobatics.
3) I'd add something else, but I have a golf outing that requires my attendance.
Oh, wait
4) It's SYNTAX that English majors deal with, not semantics. Proper order as
opposed to the meaning of the word collection. See: "C.W. Morris in his
Foundations of the Theory of Signs (1938) organizes semiotics, the study of
signs, into three areas: syntax (the study of the interrelation of the signs);
semantics (the study of the relation between the signs and the objects to which
they apply); and pragmatics (the relationship between the sign system and the
user)."
Happy New Year! ;-)
