 Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2013 7:00 am Post subject: Why is "question" used here? |
 |
|
This is not, of course, to say that the internet doesn�t serve a socially valuable function. Of course it does. But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.
Is "question" naturally used here? I don't think this is a question since it is followed by "that" instead of "whether".
Could I change it with "point"?
I think "the point is not" sounds more natural.
Thanks for your help!

You are correct!
Point, or issue, would be better.
Best wishes,
Ian
