MikeD12: Having had to wrote reports on projects and other matters I knew and understood instinctively the context in which you used the word elite in your sentence which was as usual picked up on, by A.N.Other.
But I suggest that many other English speakers and even some UK folk may have taken it as toffee nosed exclusive or even offensive.
the two word I would have used would be "potential" as that stops most Nit pickers -- BUT there will always be one (0)

You could drop the drums and take up something more you, like the recorder. No need to thank me for the career advice, it´s what I do

Interesting thread for me.........my youngest grandson has just starting playing this year....4 years old!!! They never used to take them until they were 6 and we had a problem getting football boots small enoughgrin. However, my older grandson at 17 has now been given the responsibility of training his brother and other youngsters....how funny!!!!

I do hope your new venture is a great success xx

Professional clubs are taking on kids as young as 7 years old.. Personally , I think that it way too young & committing to a team involves lots of travelling & expense, not to mention , a strict training programme, which to me, takes away the fun element of the sport.wave

Nit pickers?
Yes and Not.
In this case it is Not.

If native English speakers do not express properly how do you expect we (the non-native English speakers) to understand what you mean.

it is not only a matter of semantics but a trend of inconsistencies.

One2note: I've decided to change careers & go in a completely new direction...
I handed in my resignation & decided to concentrate on a new business venture .. I know it's a risk but I feel it's a risk worth taking..
Does anyone else feel that they need to break free from their current employment & take a chance on something that may have better rewards in the future?
