    Default Just got an email from Escort....

    ...Saying the Redline is off back order. But it quoted Roy.


    Speed Measurement Labs says: "...vicious performance on the 13 mile long range test."

    Radar Roy says: "the longest range radar detector in the world."

    Our team of engineers......."


    Did Roy really say this?

    Oops. Well, I could give a squat about the Redline. What I want to know is was Roy quoted correctly? Or is this out of context?

    Just a guess but I would say it was quoted correctly. If you remember from English class, the '...' takes place of non-important words to get the words you want. It's very possible with the expert Escort marketers that they are to replace Roy's 'one of' with these very '...'

    Example: "One of the longest range radar detector in the world."

    OR

    "... the longest range radar detector in the world."

    Or I could be wrong.

    Yeah, but did he say

    "Escort claims this is the longest range radar detector in the world."

    Or

    "I believe this is the longest range radar detector in the world."


    I guess unless The Man himself chimes in, I(seemingly the only one who's curious) will never know.


    Oh, and thanks for the remedial English lesson with a thinly veiled hint belittling.

    I wish there was a built in spellchecker here. Would certainly make my life easer.
