This being a lab, I wonder what folks have to say about the following SI specimen? I'm not saying the A/D line is the best indicator available, but I still believe it has some good prediction ability. It has followed the market very good for the past two years. I've included the first sentence only for context, however it obviously errs in using the noun 'prediction' where the adjective 'predictive' should go. My real interest lies in the hideous use of the adjective 'good' instead of the appropriate adverb 'well'. Although the violation above is particularly egregious, smaller offenses occur with disturbing frequency. I believe that this particular distinction of adjective/adverb is worth preserving whenever a well writer wishes to express himself good. Anaxagoras
