..har det nyligen timat ett meningsutbyte gällande syftningen hos ordet "these" i den fetade meningen nedan:
Citat:
Inevitably perhaps I found myself comparing him with George Orwell, and quickly realising that the comparison was unfair. Even Orwell's most ephemeral pieces summon up an authorial presence and possess a literary subtlety that Larsson was not even attempting to emulate. Rather these are practical, lucid, well-researched articles intended to educate the reader, and little more. And they are valuable pieces that merit attention. The book's title evokes Mulder and Scully and "the truth that's out there", but mercifully Larsson shows little interest in conspiracy theories – in fact, belief in them appears part of the anti-democratic, rightwing culture that he loathes. Instead there is admirably clear journalism, the patient accumulation of devastating facts.

För att belysa syftning (?), sista meningen i ett senare stycke i artikeln:
Citat:
In the end, I suppose that populism will only be defeated in Larsson's way, through patient argument and watchfulness.

...och ni andra betackar er kanske också - men bortsett från politiska sympa-/antipatier borde språkfrågan kunna avhandlas utan
träsktrask?
