《評論》LESS AND MINUS

Who insists teaching wrong things? Baby it’s you, Garlic2010!!! Having read of your comments, I know you get confused in these words: less and minus. Definitely, the arrogant guy is you because of your CREATIVE SENTENCES!!! ONE THING IS CERTAIN: LESS AND MINUS AREN’T INTERCHANABLE at all!!! Although LESS and MINUS have a similar meaning, there are differences between LESS and MINUS: Examples: 10 minus 3 leaves 7. Or 10 less 3 equals 7. (PREP.) Today is minus 10 degree in Celsius. (adj) You won’t say: today is LESS 10 degree. You can also say: I’ve got an A minus in English. (adj) BUT you won’t say: I’ve got an A less in English. One of your minus things is your arrogant behavior. (adj)(Bad things) Won’t you say: One of your LESS things is your arrogant behavior? I recall that he came back minus his purse last night. (prep.)(informal)(without) (if you interpret this minus as take away from, then you’re wrong!) You won’t say: He came back less his purse last night. (it doesn’t make sense.) ======================================================== Refer back to your so-called sentence, the way you or the author did, is informal. “I like the mild winter of Vancouver, MINUS the rain. (WRONG WORD CHOICE!) In your example: minus as prep. = without = lacking! (informal)(NOT to take away from) Can you say: I’d like a cup of coffee, minus sugar??? (I can’t stop laughing…lol…) One funny question FOR YOU, English nuts: Can you take away the rain from winter elsewhere??? Lol… Another unnatural sentence created by Garlic2010, looking for mob’s support: Your birthday present is a 2-week holiday in Hawaii, plus a companion. We won’t say PLUS a companion. We‘ll use the preposition WITH. What’s more! NO COMMA IN FRONT OF THAT PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE! Still don’t get it? No problem as our reputed arrogant creature will find an excuse for himself to deceive his followers! According to your state of mind, I knew you can never be an English teacher! Ever!!!
