FAQ � Why haven�t I got any points?
The points from your uploaded worksheet take 2 days. Wait two days and you�ll have the points. Be patient the points will come.

you recommend to eflteacher to be more patient, but I would recommend you to be more polite.By the way the commparative of GOOD is BETTER, not more good!!

MCADAN,
I believe it is not more good printables, but more of good printables, if you get the difference.
Ladybird �s message is absolutely fine. The author of the post quite bluntly states that s/he needs more points - no please, no thank you. How is that polite?

Sorry for my mistake. But I still think that the sentence is ambiguous. Of course" more " implies quantity, but when I read the sentence I thought it was a comparative, meaning that his /her worksheets weren�t good enough. That�t why I told you to be more polite.
Sorry again!!!

Hi Mcadan - I think you jumped the gun a bit here.
More good printables is perfectly acceptable and this is how native speakers communicate. I certainly didn �t interpret it as a comparative. I intepreted it as a positive statement that acknowledges that eflteacher already makes good printables and if he/she urgently needs additional points then they should contribute more printables.
Cheers
Jayho
Edit: I see our messages crossed. Yes it can be ambiguous and open to different intepretations - that�s why we should always consider these things carefully before we put our foot in our mouth. But hey, that�s how we learn.

I didn �t see anything impolite in the post. She even described the person �s worksheets as good: "more good worksheets".
To better explain the English for you:
"more + good + noun" can also be written as "more + noun + that are good"
I personally didn �t read it any other way and cannot imagine it was meant any other way--perhaps you were just having a bad day? |
