Nothing is clear unless it is directly stated. That, too, is common sense.Originally Posted by NorthernGlow
1. My apologies, I thought that it was clear from the start, some common sense you know. I also apologise for not being able to write things in english without making everything sound complicated. I'm not accusing anyone on this site, I was just bringing out the impression I've gotten from different sources.
I hope so. . . comprehension and apprehension are different things. It's one thing to be told what to expect, quite another to actually experience it. I personally would not jeopardize my relationship with my family or friends by asking them to house an intact male. I'd only let a male be housed by another breeder in a co-ownership situation or by an individual who had plans to become a breeder, and only then with all the necessary caveats in place and unconditional permission to return the male to me.2. We do not send the studs to live with just anyone, of course the people will know what they are getting into.The common sense again..
You is a pronoun used to refer to both an individual or a group. When a writer quotes someone and then uses the pronoun 'you' the linguistics of English dictate that the response was personal and direct. Instead of using the pronoun 'you' it might have been better to define the subject with 'Breeders,' 'American breeders,' or 'Breeders outside of Europe.' After defining the subject, the pronoun 'they' would have then been most appropriate to use in place of whatever word or phrase you selected.3. I wasn't talking about YOU! Or any of the breeders on this site. Unfortunately *make up a new word* don't have another word in english for 'you' meaning a specific person, and the 'you' which means basically everyone. Or if there is, please let me know what that is. I was talking about breeders in general who live in bigger and warmer countries with different style of breeding.
The word You is inclusive, and it is not an appropriate word to use when talking to a group of people if your intent is to exclude them from the topic of your conversation.
