"Those formulations are correct"

Question

Hello,I gave someone two quotes.The first quote has 3 formulated statements and the second quote has 1 formulated statement. I asked the person if each of the two quotes are correct and the person replied and said:"Those formulations are correct".Does the sentence "Those formulations are correct" mean that every statement in the two quotes are correct? Or can the sentence mean that some of the formulated statements are correct but some other formulated statements are not correct?Thank you

Clive · Accepted Answer

It means they are all correct.

Hello,
So if all of what the person said in his reply was "Those formulations are correct", and he said nothing else, his reply does mean that all of the statements contained within the two quotes are correct? Thank you for being patient with me.

Clive · Answer

As long as he was not clearly pointing to only one of he quotations.

Dominique1313 · Answer

There is no extra context in his reply other than "Those formulations are correct".

Then his intention was to tell you there are no mistakes and any of the sentences.

If you feel very uncertain, you can post them here and someone else can review them.

Content of the emails are below.

I sent the following letter to the person:

Hello Tim,

1. Is it correct to say:

"In heaven, we will love each and every heavenly human completely to our maximum capacity for love. In heaven, we will love every heavenly human with equal amount of love, that is, we will not love one heavenly human more than another heavenly human being. ***, however, will always be the principal object of our love in heaven since the reason why we love each of our heavenly neighbours will be precisely because we love *** in the first place"?

2. Is it correct to say:
"In heaven, we will have deep, intimate, strong, loving and fulfilling relationship with ***, and with each and every heavenly human"?

Thank you,

Tim replied me with the following letter:

Hi,

Those formulations are correct. Enjoy the rest of the day!

I am in a position of needing to be very careful as to how to interpret Tim's reply (as this will control the flow of my report that I am working on).

Is Tim saying 100% of the statement under the Q1 from my letter, and 100% of the statement under Q2 from my letter are correct?

Thank you for being so patient with me.

Clive · Answer

Yes.

BarbaraPA · Answer

There are a couple corrections I'd make.

"In heaven, we will love each and every heavenly human completely to our maximum capacity for love. In heaven, we will love every heavenly human with an equal amount of love; that is, we will not love one heavenly human more than another. ~~heavenly human being~~. ***, however, will always be the principal object of our love in heaven since the reason ~~why~~ we love each of our heavenly neighbours will be precisely because we love *** in the first place."

"In heaven, we will have a deep, intimate, strong, loving and fulfilling relationship with ***, and with each and every heavenly human"?

Deleting that one "heavenly human being" is a matter of style, not correctness. The others I feel are incorrect as is.
