In the meanwhile ...

Quote:Even with a 35mm lens at f5.6, pretty much everything will look sharp unless you take a very low viewpoint, yeah I agree with you.

 

And it really is "in the meantime" or just "meanwhile". Sayings and phrases are one of the hardest things to get a feel for in strange languages. It is easier for me as a dutchman because we get exposed to english much more than for instance germans (the movies and series on tv get subtitles, in germany they get german synced audio, we also can buy english (and german) magazines, and so on, and we get many english language channels on TV too).

 

Not to suggest that I don't make my fair share of grammatical or structure errors though  :ph34r:

 

One phrase error that has stuck with me from a PZ review (years ago): "a lot of bangs for your bucks". It is "a lot of bang for your buck(s)".
Well your English is so good BC I was convinced that you were an Englishman living in Holland.

 

  I haven't noticed your errors!

 

  The "bang ......bucks" is a variable one depending on what country, it used to be "you get a lot of bang for your buck" recently I've noticed it's become "bang for the buck".... Who knows what it will be next year?
