It's Confusing
''Men extra drive 276 miles a year because they are lost. Women drive about 20 miles less for that reason.`` I got these sentences from internet. I read these senences may be 4 or 5 times. Each time I didin't get second sentence.I am so confuse. First sentence says; men drive 276 miles eksta. This sentence is so clear, but second sentence has more then one meaning. First; women drive 20 miles less than man drive. Second; Men lost and they drive 276 miles extra; women lost and they drive 20 miles less because women lucky. Women can find short time drive even when they get lost. I am so confuse. Pls tell me what do you get from second sentence ?

ReplyDeleteYes, I hope it's clearer now. As you can see, even native speakers of English don't always write clear sentences that say what they mean!
