Nerd Noise limiters proposed for music venues (41) RE: Noise limiters proposed for music venues 20 Jan 09


The first tip that the person complaining of this legislation didn't know what he was talking about was that he couldn't write a proper sentence:

"It has become apparent..." (how?)

"...that the government wish to consider it a legal requirement in the new tax year to introduce laws..."

They wish to "consider it a legal requirement to introduce laws?" What the hell does this mean? And since when does the whole of the government intend to introduce a law? And why is "the new tax year" unspecified? And, finally, "government" is singular, not plural, so "the government wishes."

"insisting anyone applying or re-applying for an entertainment license must have a noise control device fitted to the venue."

Insisting? Laws don't insist. "Applying or re-applying?" They can't require anyone applying to have one.

A coherent sentence would be: "Some UK lawmakers wish to pass a law requiring every licensed entertainment venue to be fitted with a noise-limiting device."

It still wouldn't be true, though....
