alc24  +  952031 Sun, 25 Oct 09 01:30 AM Is this OK? Can you use WHETHER like this? 1 I have extensive experience when it comes to poker, whether playing or just the knowledge and backround of poker. thank you alc24 Joined on Sat, Jul 25 2009 Contributing Member 1,445

	Yankee  +  952074 Sun, 25 Oct 09 02:33 AM I'd say one of the problems in your sentence is the fact that the structures you've used before and after the word "or" are not parallel (i.e. not the same). The use of "whether playing" means "whether he is playing". There are other problems as well, however. For example, can you really have "extensive experience with the knowledge of poker"? (I'd say no.) For an example of the way you're trying to use "whether", look here (under "whether...or"): http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=90189&dict=CALD "Someone's got to tell her, whether it's you or me."
