Hallo Suzan,
Van verschillende kanten hoorde ik dat je mij graag punten wil geven vanwege mijn opmerking bij het antwoord van MGerber.
Omdat ik geen native speaker ben van het Engels had ik mij niet aan een "echt" antwoord gewaagd, maar bij deze dan alsnog een poging.
Ik ben gek op punten, dus kom maar op! ;-)
Groetjes,
A. |

| Grading comment Thanks, Antoinette. In my last-minute panic I didn't think that a native Dutch speaker might actually be able to answer this better than a native speaker of English. That and it was my first time asking a question. Anyway, eind goed al goed, right? So here are your points. Enjoy!

Asker: Not sure how to do this. Antoinette's comment was the most helpful, since it sent me off along the path that led me to "loss of credibility" which seemed correct in the context. Actually, then, points should go to Antoinette as the most helpful comment.
