HeadingNorth Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Doesn't sound like much of a friend anyway, trying to weasel out of it by saying that he'd never said it was his review. What does the title "My Review" mean then? In this case, it means "review supplied by me." The word "my" can refer to any number of different ways in which something is connected to me - it does not always imply ownership. I certainly don't own my home city, and I'd be very surprised if you owned yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I wouldn't send someone a city and call it my city. My home city might be true, but it's not my city. My review implies ownership IMO. If I give you something owned by someone else, I would never refer to it as 'my {thing in question}'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karis Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks for all the replies guys. I completely forgot every word would be picked apart on here. What actually happened was, with certain reviews, I get comments from my friends or people I know who really know that genre. Which is what I did here. It's just a better way to get a more rounded review and happens a lot across all the magazines I've worked on over the years. I certainly, in no way, submitted anything that wasn't my own work. I wasn't expecting a 'friend' to just copy words from the web as he couldn't be bothered to write up his own comments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishcake Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 KAris - if you want something done, do it yourself. Is it Exposed you write for by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karis Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 To be fair though, that's not the impression you originally gave. To be fair, though, I was asking for advice NOT judgement! Which, a few people decided to jump on the bandwagon. I'm sure it's a load of fun to criticise someone asking for advice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee79 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Anyway, did you eventually decide what way was best to approach your friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
