And what is your opinion on "are seeing" itself? Is it correct to say like that at all? I have always thought that "to see" is one of the least likely verbs to be used in continuous tense. Am I right here? This haunts me too much because if it's correct it would be a revolution in my study of English, since I have been always taught the opposite.

That question looms large for 20th Century Fox and its 3-D science-fiction film ³Avatar,² among the most expensive movies ever. Despite many skeptics, the studio thinks it can turn a profit, in part because the film¹s creator, James Cameron, was the driving force behind the studio¹s immense hit ³Titanic.² But just in case box-office receipts for ³Avatar² fall short, Fox has worked hard to hedge its large bet on the movie. Despite the estimated half-billion...http://www.englishforums.com/English/UsePastParticipleFormItself-SupposedlySentencePastPerfect-Te/ljkqm/post.htmMon, 09 Nov 2009 12:45:35 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:966122mkyolThe following is a line from a documentary film: "The Rockerafella fortune had begun over a hundred years earlier with Nelson's grandfather, John D Rockafella, the founder of the Standard Oil Corporation." I'm confused about the use of "had" there. The source of my confusion stems from the fact that sentence is not in the usual past perfect tense with both form and form present -- it just has the latter. I was thinking that maybe the lines that come before it or after it provide a time reference point for the "had." The previous lines before it are not directly relevant to this sentence as the sentence changes the topic, so I don't think they have anything to do with it as far as my question...http://www.englishforums.com/English/FinalDraftAndScreenwriter/ljwhj/post.htm#965729Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:19:50 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:965729betterduckI'm a Mac guy, athough I spent three years writing a business computing column and know PCs, too.

They're losers and so are all of us, and their era of closed sandbox is nearing an end. Ive had Scripthing since Dos. Ive upgraded to Mac and its a great program, but its a coin flip on whether or not someone can send you a screenplay if you only own one system. Or do those nerds expect me to buy both? Just last week I went through this entire nonsense. Again. So am I at fault for not owning both formats? Am I more at fault, because I work in the biz (sorta) and dont own both formats?

FWIW, Final Draft began as a Mac program, while the Screenwriter guys started with Scriptor (a Word add-on that got some kind of special Oscar, it was so helpful) and then bought ScriptThing, which I called the Learjet of script formatting programs (and they put my quote on the box). I don't have the problems with the title page and little glitches like that when using Screenwriter. In the past I found that FD imported text from other programs a bit better, but Screenwriter caught up. If I was just now buying a program I'd go with Screenwriter, but the fact that they're competitive causes them to improve. One word of caution...http://www.englishforums.com/English/IntroducingMescano5/ljhzh/post.htm#965239Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:10:49 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:965239roseymaHello Mescano, I've read your introduction, and I want to write to you for a meet.

Raising dogs is a much more generic term and does not imply any specific reason or motive. It may not even involve mating animals, merely taking pups perhaps and looking after them until they are mature. (This is a very general phrase or term "usage" explanation.)http://www.englishforums.com/English/HowInviteFormallyFortoBusiness-Meeting/ljhrd/post.htm#965093Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:55:37 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:965093mister micawberJust write as if you were speaking to him/her/them.

However, the employer still writes "vacancy". I know that he is right, because usually in this case people will write "vacancy" But I don't know the reason
