As for creating something old, I imagine one way to do that would be to re create something. You might also create something that is designed to look old, or something that is an old syle, for example.http://www.englishforums.com/English/CorrectExpression/wghcp/post.htm#699726Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:02:30 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:699726Grammar Geek1http://www.englishforums.com/English/CorrectExpression/wghcp/post.htm#699726http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-699726.xmlYou might argue that it's redundant, and therefore not good style, but as a matter of grammar, it's perfectly correct English. I don't mind it at all - it's another cue to the person reading what it means. Redundancy can be reinforcing. You can't "edit" an account that doesn't exist yet, but we also see "Edit existing account" along with "Create new account." Likewise for "Delete." People read quickly. If they key in on one word, either word -- new or create -- it just helps.http://www.englishforums.com/English/CorrectExpression/wghcp/post.htm#699723Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:39:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:699723Second_language2http://www.englishforums.com/English/CorrectExpression/wghcp/post.htm#699723http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-699723.xmlIf I write "create new", is it correct? Can comebody create something old? For example, create a new bank account.http://www.englishforums.com/English/CorrectExpression/wghcp/post.htmTue, 21 Apr 2009 12:23:22 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:699718Anonymous3http://www.englishforums.com/English/CorrectExpression/wghcp/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-699718.xmlAre the words, create new, correct English. For example, create a new account. The reason for this question is, can anybody create an old account?
