>>65447794>but using "do" instead of "make" is classic ESL.I'm a burger who's whiter than mayo, and know enough JP to be dangerous but, is that true? I've got to be honest and say that's a "mistake" I would probably make (and have probably made) in the past. In fact, I'd probably argue that as written, it's a more correct "native" English sentence.
If the sentence is written as
>...since a lot of money and effort was made by so many dragoons.Then the reader should interpret it as said dragoons putting in a lot of effort and *making a lot of money* as a result. However, since the sentence uses "done," the reader naturally separates "money" from "effort" because "a lot of money was done" makes zero sense. So I've gotta say anon, I think your assessment is totally wrong here and Selen's version, as written, is a far more correct and native tweet. But, do feel free to correct me if you're an English major, or something. I'm an Engineer; I do the maths good, not so much the writes good.
