hmm. i don;t think this is grammatically incorrect at all. it might
sound strange to some ears, i guess. but wrong? why is it wrong?
Cause the 802.11a speeds don't have speeds? Admittedly I'm not a native
speaker, but I'd agree with the OP.
it's not saying that. it says, in essence, that 11g speeds are the same
as for (the) 11a speeds (listed above). it is omitting parts that
can be left out because the intent should be fairly obvious.
The omitted parts didn't bother me, it's the "for" that doesn't make
sense in my head, as that makes me read "I have the same number of socks
as your socks [do]", implying that the socks have socks, instead of "I
have the same number of socks as you [do]".
Anyway, this isn't a bikeshed I'm very attached to. Just emptying my
pockets of pennies.
i guess we can reword it if folks think it sounds odd (or wrong ;) but
if i had to do that, i'd say it'd sound better as "the same as those for
802.11a".
This sounds even better. My ok on that one if you feel you need it. :)
i don;t really think it needs changed, unless folks are unhappy that
it's unclear (or feel its wrong). i guess that's 2 votes so far to
change it though ;)
Your veto easily outnumbers the two of us though. :-)
