Not the right... Way!

Post by zen » Thu Apr 20, 2006 5:53 pm

I recently co starred in a Tv program called Kevins Way, produced by Chilecorto for Chilean cable TV and owned by the Chilean-Britannic institute.

The straw that broke my camel's back is when the South African scriptwriter was forced to alter the script by the institute from:

Well, I am meeting Bernadita at the doctor's at midday...

TO

Well, I am meeting Bernadita at the doctor at midday...

I informed her that it was incorrect and she told me that the institute had forced her to change the script from what we and 99% of the world think is correct English to a form that is not and these people teach English!!

I also do not recommend anyone works for the producer in question: Chilecorto, the list is a long one, shall we just say that! Anyone seeking further details can contact me

Below is the link to the program'S web site.

Are you aware that you didn't put an apostrophe in 'camel's back'? :o :wink: :D
