    Hi, Denis! Recently you wrote in a message to All:

    A kindly Universities gifted me with a tad over
    3lbs of milk 3.2%, rump I'm guessing. Now I am
    waiting recommendations on how to cook it.

    So, if You were to cook it...what would You do?


    First, I wondered why Denis was measuring milk in pounds & why... since he seems to be reasonably knowledgeable about cooking... he'd be asking how to cook milk without saying how he was planning to use it.

    Second, I read the kludge lines. I saw that Denis was apparently practising English by rewording a message from another echo.

    Third, I consulted the source & saw that the original enquiry was about moose meat. That would explain the use of the word "rump".

    If Denis wants to know how to cook moose meat, that's a different question. There are deer in Eurasia which some authorities consider to be of the same species. But unless I hear he has been offered meat he doesn't know what to do with I'll regard this data as solely of academic interest.... :-Q

    Very nice.

    Technically, an interjection - a noise having no useful information. In this context, a polite way of saying "Hey, wait a minute!"

    As long as you clearly identify what somebody else wrote... and keep it well separated from your own words... I don't have a problem with that. One difficulty I'm having here is that I'm not always sure which is which. Another is that if you change too many things the meaning is lost.

    You've been asking good questions in the COOKING echo & getting good answers. I would encourage you to keep doing that, because the folks there are undoubtedly more knowledgeable about cooking than I am. OTOH you will get more assistance with spelling & grammar in E_T because that's our specialty.... :-)

    Hi Denis,

    Everything in this document reads correctly, and is written in a readable format. However it's a contract, and I'm not an attorney so I can't tell you if it's legally enforceable. But as to English grammar, it reads ok.
