Have you ever listened to a podcast? What's your guess about the demographics of those who do? I don't have an iPod, but I do listen to the odd podcast, which I download to my hard drive. I listen to Geoffrey Boycott's summary of the day's play during cricket tests, and podcasts by specialists in a couple of subjects I'm interested in. I'd listen to more if the files weren't so big (I'm on dial-up). The BBC streams at ~26 kB and that gives acceptable quality, but many podcasts are recorded at much higher bitrates thus creating huge files. Not needed for voice IMHO. Demographics would depend on the subject matter and marketing....http://www.englishforums.com/English/AdverbPlsCorrect/hrvrd/post.htmMon, 10 Nov 2008 02:32:52 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:585806achu.jAdverb Questions Eg: Laura is a graceful dancer Laura dances gracefully 1.

New technology involving networking information and automation influences the behaviour of business and enables significant transformation.

In British English, often groups, companies, or teams are treated as third person plural, not third person singular. In American English, groups, companies, teams are considered singular. So you will see some variation depending on the particular style of the writer.http://www.englishforums.com/English/CricketPuzzle/6/clcll/Post.htm#574880Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:22:39 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:574880anonymousthe first batsman on strike takes a single... but the ball hits the helmet / cap kept ... he gets 6 runs..

I got to house-sit for a month. From having no TV, suddenly I had lebenty-leben satellite channels, and there was, lessee... England v SA cricket tests, Tri-Nations rugby, F1 Hockenheimring and Hungaroring, Russia v Georgia sabre-rattling, and the History Channel and Discovery, and my favourite, BBC Food, and of course news and soapies and sitcoms and movies. So no writing got done. Now I remember why I sold my TV. Incidentally, the Russia/Georgia/South Ossetia thing. I was in much the same time zone and watched CNN, BBC, and Russia Today as the news developed in real time. It was pretty obvious that Russia had somehow engineered the whole thing. While CNN and BBC floundered about, originally...http://www.englishforums.com/English/Pronoun/glcqb/post.htm#556023Mon, 18 Aug 2008 04:44:46 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:556023mister micawber.
