    Now that you officially begged me to find as many errors on your blog as I can, I'll do that ...without mercy.You'd better not read what I typed below if you're having a bad day. It'll make your bad day worse.
    1. Take a look at point no 1, you said you wanted to provide some examples of sentences, but where's the sentence?
    2. Point no3, clause 'many of the passengers...", are you sure this clause is already correct grammatically? would you care to show me which of one is the verb/predicate?
    3.You can't say 'in terms of financial'. 'Financial' is an adjective and 'of' is a preposition. I never find a preposition directly followed by an adj,except a noun or noun phrase.
    4. You can't say 'a green thumb skills'. 'A green thumb skill' sounds better (drop the 's'). Article 'a' never takes a plural noun. Always bear in mind that indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' always take a singular noun.
