Hello Pulpmeister,
Here's what I was alluding at in my previous posting:
Old version [sic]
ONLY THE SKIPPER lived aft with Sir Rupert and the young ladies and the ONLY the skipper lived aft with Sir Rupert and the young ladies, and I do not think even he was quite comfortable there.
Revised version [sic]
ONLY THE SKIPPER lived aft with Sir Rupert and the young ladies and the young ladies, and I do not think even he was quite comfortable there.
I am not a native speaker of English, but the revised version still seems incorrect to me. Just in case you can confirm it and still want to correct it.
Thanks again for your contributions, I am enjoying this site a lot!
