That's funny. Maybe OOT isn't the best source for answers to questions like this.

I can't imagine why you'd say that.

That can be easily overcome by reminding them of your ability to by beer. Or, better yet, Zima.

What about all his superfluous stuff? He has a million extra prepositions.

A million extra prepositions are still way better than if he wore short shorts to study hall and his junk was spilling out of them and it was all you could think about for days on end and it kept you up at night. Seriously.

1st one is nitty.

For the 2nd one, I am pretty sure you changed the meaning of the sentence, so yours sucks (unless he had the meaning wrong).

3rd: both of your sentences suck.

4th: write an actual sentence if you want us to compare the two

5th: yours is much better

6th: yours is much better


7th: both suck. granted i don't know what is going on in preceding sentences, how about:
"Vega’s justification was flawed because the staff's two responsibilities conflicted. They could not be traveling and processing claims at the same time."

You both suck. Don't split infinitives.

bb,

Good call. 13-14 year old broads tend to like fruity or malted type of drinks like Zima or wine coolers. From what I've heard anyway.

And if the star football player or whatever gives me some lip for stealing his hand warmer I'll just run over him while he's biking home and he can spend the rest of his life eating out of a tube while he thinks about what a dumb idea that was.

1: To serve their customers' needs in a time of great hardship, Francis Vega and his staff worked around the clock. [note: a number is better than the cliche here. "worked, on average, 16 hours per day for 3 weeks"]

2. To provide exemplary service to its customers, ALIC had to first ensure that its employees' basic needs were met.

3. A manager authorized the use of a washer/drier unit originally intended for a customer claim, helping staff morale.

4. The employees were grateful for the chance to wash their clothes at a time when few had running water or electricity in their homes.

5. Transportation provided by ALIC allowed Vega and his staff to work effectively in the area. Mr. Johnson praised the team as "dedicated and creative" in facing the regional crisis.

6. These ALIC vehicles gave the employees easy access to the sites needing the most attention.

7. Vega's reasoning was flawed, as the staff needed to maintain some presence in the office to process the claims it [verbed] on the road.
