	Taka  #367543  Sat, 19 May 07 04:00 PM When I was a child,there was a good deal of adult conversation to the effect that children had to learn to be unselfish. It was a word that I came to dislike intensely because it always turned out to involve something I did not want to do and for the doing of which there were no visible rewards. Is it: (1) I came to dislike (the word) intensely+because it always turned out to involve something... or (2) Because it always turned out to involve something...+it was a word that I came to dislike intensely ?    Taka Joined on Tue, Sep 7 2004 Japan Senior Member (2,266)

	Maya2  #367579  Sat, 19 May 07 05:10 PM what is the diff between 1 and 2?    Maya2 Joined on Wed, Feb 28 2007 Junior Member (81)

	CalifJim  #367596  Sat, 19 May 07 05:29 PM I interpreted it as 1  It involved something I didn't want to do.  Therefore, I disliked it. 2  It involved something I didn't want to do.  Therefore, it was a word. CJ    CalifJim

	MrPedantic  #368191  Sun, 20 May 07 10:40 PM I must admit, I missed the difference too. Wouldn't it be possible to take the "that" clause as restrictive in #2? MrP    MrPedantic Joined on Tue, Oct 12 2004 Veteran Member (12,053) ...opella forensis / adducit febris...
