<VV> English paper (un petite peu Corvair)

[Dennis Johnsey USN (ret)]

Yep, good catch....I blind copied it to a bunch of friends, one of whom notified me of the double the's.  I also found that I had misspelled, "precede," and had a few awkward phrases, repetitious words, and poor punctuation, so I've probably edited it five or six times since last night.  
   
  I mailed it to VV because I wanted it vetted by some car guys, since the prof said we should write on a topic that we know about, and most of my experience with cars has tended to prove the opposite.
   
  I invite any criticism, as long as it's before noon... so I have time to make changes before it's due. :)
   
  The kudos are highly appreciated as well, but I generally prefer that my fans throw money at the stage upon which the comedy that is my existence unfolds.

    .hmmessage P  {  margin:0px;  padding:0px  }  body.hmmessage  {  FONT-SIZE: 10pt;  FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma  }    So how many people on this list pointed out the double "the the"s ?  I bet at least 10.
 
Pretty good article.  I forwarded it to a co-worker that's resurrecting his 1st car, a 1972 Karmann Ghia.  I used it to confirm advice I had already given him.

Privacy, combined with the profligate application of the vernacular of a stevedore suffering with genital poison ivy, have invariably been determined to be singularly conducive to the the type of cathartic release most beneficial to the process, as well.
