OK. That is the last time anyone gets to post
this nonsense on Groklaw. If you want to twist
the language, do it on your own website.
Yes. I mean it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Did you learn English as a second language?
Because there's this thing we call the INDEFINITE ARTICLE
that is distinctly different from the DEFINITE article. When
you are asked a question about your experience with a thing,
and the person asking uses the indefinite article, they are
asking about ALL your experiences.
If someone asks you, "Have you ever driven a car?" They are
absolutely not saying "Please tell me about one, and only
one, car that you have driven."
The indefinite article IMPLIES that the answer will be a
list including ALL qualified responses. Hogan shut his trap
prematurely after giving an incomplete answer, and Koh had
no cues to go off of that his statement was incomplete.
There is absolutely no way that judge Koh could be faulted
for not pressing Hogan, and it requires a complete stretch
of ones understanding of BASIC GRAMMAR to think that Hogan
is justified in limiting his reply to one case.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
