Guys,

Just a suggestion...

When we are posting answers to the Sentence Correction Questions, It will be better if we post JUST our answers next to the Question numbers.. Instead of Quoting the entire SET of Sentences.. and then Marking our answers in bold.... or WORSE, Quoting the entire answer and then writing our answers in the end...

There are 2 direct disadvantages:

1. Makes the thread longer to browse.. Coz we dont know if a set is actually a new one or someone has just quoted it while answering..
2. Makes it difficult to know which is the actual question.. and what part some1 has quoted..


This is a lovely thread... let's keep it easy to browse as well... Thanks to njoy and all the other contributors.. Cheerz!

P.S. I am replicating form a similar post on the Para Jumbles for CAT 2007 thread (I regularly read both the threads), but I'm doing this just coz its equally relevant here.. If u find this repetitive, please Groan!
