<MSGID_1=3A153=2F716.0_fdd52140@fidonet.org> processed: spam filter heuristic analysis disabled) From: "alexander koryagin" <koryagin@erec.ru> F2EP Hi, Ardith Hinton! How are you? on Tuesday, 19 of June, I read your message to alexander koryagin about "Reported speach and BBC World" AH> Hi, Alexander! Recently you wrote in a message to All: ak>> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18192375 ak>> =========Beginning of the citation============== ak>> After watching the footage, Mr Campbell said he believes Uefa should ak>> not have chosen the countries as hosts of such a prestigious event ak>> in the first place. ak>> =========The end of the citation================ ak>> Should it have been written in this way: ak>> Mr Campbell said (that) he believed UEFA should not have chosen the ak>> countries... AH> Assuming that Mr. Campbell is still alive & well, that he AH> made the remark(s) attributed to him shortly before the news reporters AH> rushed to their computers in order to meet a deadline or to get ahead AH> of the competition, and that I've seen no evidence suggesting he may AH> have changed his mind... I'd say "he believes". IOW, I'm treating the AH> verb as an ongoing action here.... :-) ak>> It seems to me that there is a rule how to transform a direct speech ak>> into indirect one. +++ there is the rule how... ?? [Skipped] AH> Another example: within the last week or so Alexander AH> informed the denizens of this echo that he was puzzled about xxx. I'm AH> reporting in my own words, although Fidonet technology enables me to AH> quote exactly what Alexander said. To the best of my knowledge nobody AH> else has responded to his concerns. But a lot can happen in a week or AH> so & electronic mail goes missing in action from time to time, AH> therefore I can't be sure Alexander is still puzzled. ;-) So, if you had written "After reading Mr Cambell words, Alexander informs the denizens of this echo that he would have written some sentences in other way" you would have meant that I am still puzzled.
