If there is a duplication it is correct for Bruno Marchal to say "I will see one city", or "we will see two cities", or "the copies of Bruno Marchal will see two cities", but not "I will see two cities". Even without duplication, there is no rigid 1:1 connection between pronouns and proper nouns. > -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
