Yep, it was a sloppy use of pronouns in a sentence written at speed and without too much thought, thus creating a certain ambiguity.

The intended subject of the sentence was the STUDENT and not 'daddy', hence the ambiguity, but since the word 'ambiguity' means 'of uncertainty' (with 'ambi' = 'two'), I stand by my comment that you should have checked with me first before berating me in the way you did.

We 'teach' in the classroom and pay far more attention to our sentence structures than we do on a forum such as this, especially when conversing with NES, so whilst I admit my 'grave error', I don't think that expecting a certain amount of 'tolerance' is unreasonable.

I saw a sign the other day, it read :- 'Ask your teacher if you have any questions'

Do you want to pull this ambiguity apart too?

Let's just accept that I should have taken more care with my sentence structure and you should have taken more care with your interpretation, or at least checked before throwing insults.

There's too much 'bitch-fighting' on this forum, at least IMHO
