      XPost: alt.usage.english, alt.english.usage       From: HenHanna@devnull.tb               Why is there an age limit on Paris Olympic Men's soccer?               ... Given that switch, FIFA, world soccer's governing body,       put various barriers in place for players competing in the Olympics,       which it didn't want to possibly usurp the World Cup as the premier       international soccer showcase. One of those measures was an age       restriction.                      -- [Given that switch,] --- is a lame, poor way        to start a paragraph or sentence.                      -- in this sniped... [put] is also poor.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
