Re: Theos-World 2 questions

Bart,

At 11:50 AM 5/9/02 -0400, you wrote:
"An acquaintance of mine refused to wear a tie to work, and
was fired"
Bruce: The "and" in between the two clauses merely means that two things happened. There is no causal connection indicated in the sentence. You could have said, "A friend of mine ate a beef sandwich and died," but that wouldn't mean that the beef sandwich killed him. He could have been in a car accident.
Peace, Bruce MacD
