I love, and have a huge amount of respect for Jon. But there are moments when his grammar leaves you wishing SI would hire a personal proofreader for him.
This sentence means (at least) two different things, depending on the placement of the comma. • Having withdrawn before her second rounder with a dodgy knee, Lindsay Davenport might retire, having won her final match at Wimbledon. How many other players can say that? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200....things/1.html So does he mean she won't be back to Wimbledon, but can say she won her last match there? Or does he mean she is re-retiring, and she can say she won her final match, which occurred at Wimbledon? |
