Does Michelle Obama Have Poor Grammar?
I was watching a television special about life in the White House with my dad, and he pointed out two statements from Michelle Obama that contained poor grammar.
Both statements sounded correct to me, but he's a technical writer so I would tend to believe his opinion!
So I pose my question to you. Does Michelle Obama have poor grammar:
1. "He's two years older than me."
2. "I'm smarter than him."
Thanks!

Hi Goodman,
'Pose a question' means ask a question, in the sense of 'put a question forward for consideration'.
'Post a question' is normally used in the context of placing a question online, eg in a Forum like this.
That's probably why there are so many online hits for 'post'.
In addition, 'pose a question' is more formal and thus less common th

Hi Clive,
I understand your explanation. Thank you. I also said: "Pose and post used with "question", do not mean exactly the same in my opinion".
I guess it depends on how we apporach the question.
If I said "I posted this question twice on the forum..." would you say, "post" is better suited" than "pose"?

Hi,
'Posted it twice on the Forum' means placed it on the Forum twice.
'Posed it twice on the Forum' means asked it on the Forum twice.
I can also 'pose a question' if I am having a face to face conversation with you and my computer is turned off.
Best wishes, Clive

Did your Dad give you the reasons why he thought those were examples of bad grammar, Anon?

'Posted it twice on the Forum' means placed it on the Forum twice.
'Posed it twice on the Forum' means asked it on the Forum twice.
Then, since the question was discussed on the forum, one may take it as " posted on the forum" or
"put forward" for discussion. Is this reasonable?

Hi,
Yes.
But the point I wanted to make earlier was that the original questioner was not wrong when she said this:
So I pose my question to you. Does Michelle Obama have poor grammar . . .
Clive
