In Reply to: RE: Good luck To Bose posted by middleground on July 26, 2014 at 07:42:03
I'm relentlessly trying to get my family members who seek a table radio/cd unit type thing to look at other alternatives like Cambridge Soundworks and another one that now escapes me - rather than be suckered into a payment plan for a Bose Wave unit that is morbidly overpriced due to their ridiculous advertising budget designed to reel in people readily duped by that kind of stuff.
(How's that for a run-on sentence?)

I am in awe, as should you be...

"The mere fact that a sentence is long does not make it a run-on sentence; sentences are run-ons only when they contain more than one independent clause. A run-on sentence can be as short as four words—for instance: I drive she walks. In this case there are two independent clauses: two subjects paired with two intransitive verbs. So as long as clauses are punctuated appropriately, a writer can assemble multiple independent clauses in a single sentence; in fact, a properly constructed sentence can be extended indefinitely." From Wikipedia.
I think I forgot one comma. Here it is: ",". Use it well.
How is your French grammar BTW?
You know one of the strangest things is that whenever I just as much as harrumph when someone extolls the virtue of the First Commandment of subjective high-end audio: "More money equals better sound ad infinitum", there is a general outcry that I am incapable of understanding that people with money know what they are doing when buying 40k preamps or 120k speakers and that they are simply enjoying their freedom and the rewards of the great free market economy.

Deux poids deux mesures.
