specific things I see that may be problems in the first few paragraphs 1st paragraph Is going to movies a social standard Or is it an activity Your first sentence is 3 lines long It is difficult to read and needs to be shorter You frequently use that when it is better to say who What is the name of the movie Punctuate it for the reader Capitalize underline or put in quotes Is it Maybe be or may be Is a back round related to gollfing Self conscious Is a movie aware of itself and embarassed to tell you something Or maybe you mean subconscious below the awareness of the viewer The comma after you needs to be that Do you really mean then at that time or than John is taller than Mike 2nd paragraph Hes and thats are not words They are missing something 3rd paragraph Is Alexia Near her name If

which are party to these various disputes on account of their apparent equipollence leads the Pyrrhonist to the adoption of suspension of judgment with regard to the matters in question Hence the mere fact that there is diversity of points of view opinions or theories is not in itself sufficient to induce suspension of judgment it is also necessary that none of them appear to have more weight than the others Yes I also felt that the on account of is kind of weird Perhaps disputes due to the fact that their arguments appear to be equipollent 2 You ve already seen this paragraph where I use the term party and when referring to it I use the possessive adjective its and then the personal pronoun they The point is that I m not sure whether I should rather use their they or its it or just leave the way it is He will point out that such opinions seem to be dependent upon each party s familial cultural and social background as well as upon its religious metaphysical and scientific beliefs and theories so that one may say how abortion appears to be in relation to each of these factors but not how it is in itself But his inquiry will not stop there he will attempt to determine whether any of the contending parties can justify its claims That is to say in attempting to prove the truth of an assertion one of the parties will have to prove the truth of the premise from which they infer the assertion and so on ad infinitum Or to avoid being thrown back ad infinitum they will try to establish the truth of one of the links of the chain of reasons by having recourse to the first link whose truth they set out to establish thus falling into circularity Or they will argue that one of the links of the chain needs no proof to establish its truth because for instance it is self evident or self justifying 3 I underline this point because in discussing his paper through written communication Bett pointed out to me that Annas had claimed that contemporary ethical skepticism rests on a non skeptical position regarding science and that what he had intended to prove was that this need not be so 4 It follows from this that when I translate the term anepikritos as undecidable I do not use this word in a strong sense I think that if up to now the arguments put forward by the parties to a dispute have appeared to a person to have equal force it is consistent to say that at least so far it has not been possible for that person to give his assent to any of the contending positions Thanks Sextus http://www.englishforums.com/English/IWasWondering/mvjb/post.htm#60266Wed, 08 Dec 2004

no special treatment similarly with quotes putting them in quotation marks is all you need do House s is the singular possessive My house s roof is leaky Houses is the plural possessive The neighborhood s houses roofs are leaky However we don t often use this form for inanimate objects preferring the of form The roofs of the neighbors houses are leaky
