did anyone else notice the atrocious grammar on the septmeber 20th market garden timeline on the bia website? it amazed me how they put it up like that
"This day the road from Eindhoven to Nijmegen got the name Hell's Highway. Why? Because the allied line was very narrow, only this road! In addition, the Germans crossed that line more than once and it was really hard fighting. German soldiers attacked in the morning the road to Nijmegen. They attacked south of Son. They had very little cover and the Americans used their 75 mm howitzers. The German tanks and half-tracks could hardly be used because of the wet and muddy fields. The Germans were not able to cut the lifeline of the allies, but they reached their goal: delay. All traffic on the road came to a halt and black clouds of vehicles being hit were seen from far distance. The British came with their Cromwells and found some diversion to attack the Germans. Several Cromwells were knocked out and some drove on a mine. The Germans fired the road to Nijmegen with Panthers and STU' s and the Allies losses were heavy. The Germans also lost some tanks due to fuel shortage and they were counterattacked from several directions. They withdrew. The British attacked from Eindhoven and at 12.00 hour the Germans were driven back en they had lost 158 men. The fighting took 5 hours and all traffic had come to a halt during that time. The British were numerical superior to the Germans and came with their 44th tankbataillon and their Hussar tankbataillon. They also had some Sextons. The small village Nederwetten was conquered and the Germans lost 2 Panthers and had to withdraw to Nuenen. The promise given to von Mahltzahn that he would receive fuel for his brigade was broken. He had lost 9 Panthers in total and some just because of fuel shortage."
If this is it, then it isn't that bad. You can still read it and understand what it is saying. I might have missed some mistakes when I read it, so can you say where in it they are?
I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
Maybe it's not so much the grammar, but the way it is written makes it a little annoying to read like the sentence "German soldiers attacked in the morning the road to Nijmegan," in lieu of "The Germans attacked the road to Nijmegan in the morning." also "All traffic on the road came to a halt and black clouds of vehicles being hit were seen from far distance." I think the person who wrote this wasn't a native English speaker. most of it is correct, just not the more natural way of writing.
