Hi, All! -----Beginning of the citation----- https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/29/world/euro... MOSCOW ΓÇö Russia on Thursday escalated _a confrontation_ with Europe and the United States over the poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain, saying it would expel 60 American diplomats and an unspecified number of envoys from other countries to retaliate for a mass expulsion of Russian diplomats working in the West and beyond that was ordered this week. <skipped> ----- The end of the citation ----- If we escalate something we already know what it is. We have the confrontation over the poisoning of a former spy. So, why "Russia on Thursday escalated a confrontation...." Why "_a_ confrontation" not "the confrontation"? Bye, All! --- Paul's Win98SE VirtualBox * Origin: Quinn's Post - Maryborough, Queensland, OZ (3:640/384) |
