[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drive a 2009 Ford Escape with 170K miles on it. I love it and don't ever want to get another car. It's safe, reliable, comfortable, doesn't look too bad, I love the color, it has lots of room inside, and it has taken me on many road trips. Also, it's paid off. I only use synthetic oil and never miss routine maintenance. I don't mind the occasional repair bill either. Nothing about it embarrasses me even when others have brand new cars. I figure they mostly also have $700 car payments. Also, it is not correct English to say "I'm embarrassed of my car". You could say "My car embarrasses me." or "I find my car to be embarrassing." YWIA[/quote] Fascinating. I was taught that the construction, "I find X to be __________ " is not correct. We learned to use, "I find X dreadful or uncomfortable or unacceptable." And yet I actually do not know whether the phrase you used is grammatically incorrect. [/quote]
