Asked on March 27, 2021 in Grammar.
I would like to support Bill Gates’s comments on fishing man. Bill is absolutely right. It is not likely to be often found but the Corpus of Contemporary American English has this one record from ‘Stern Men’ by Elizabeth Gilbert, published in 2000.
They were famous lobstermen, superior to every fishing man.
Why do adjectives end with ‘-ing’ before nouns? What are counter examples?

You were pretty much right isn’t it? Why do I have the “They’ve been doing it ever since” sentence but not on the informality of what
they have said it the whole time?

In Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage: When “either” and “or” join subjects, make the
verb agree with the nearer subject.
The first justifies the second one. But it is hardly more satisfactory than it does in any other, meaningful way. I know a loved one has suffered from an injury, so yes both are possible. if you don’t like either, the only answer
is to recast the sentence again as something like: Inevitably.

English can use the present progressive construction, as in your first sentence, and going to, as in your second sentence, to express the future. Is an adjective used to define the future. (Cephalotranslation) = 2 of future event ((Event Object)). If going to suggests, a little more strongly than the present progressive that the event is fixed and cannot be changed then to change another event, then it will cease from moving. The choice between two depends on context, and the impression that the speaker wishes to convey.
Editor’s note: This view is based on the relevant entry in ‘An A-Z of English Grammar and Usage’ by Leech and others. “Be Going to usually indicates that… “Personally, Carter and McCarthy have chosen to look at the
English grammar rather than ‘Cambridge Grammar” by Peter Hettih (Ms. Hodgson), as given by edward A. Carter. will take place soon, but that all the necessary arrangements have not yet been made.
The present progressive usually indicates that… Arrangements are probably in place or have been made with regard to money or other arrangements.
Is it correct that they are careful to hedge their claim with almost. When a conversation is about something different, the choice between the two forms depends on all aspects. In practice, the choice between the two forms depends on the context, the impression that the speaker wishes to convey, the speaker’s purpose and the relationship between the participants in the conversation. How can a speaker reply to “I’m sorry, I’m attending a meeting tomorrow” instead of “I’m sorry, I’m going to attend a meeting tomorrow.” Is the difference small, can be used to fine tune a speaker’s ideational and interpersonal meaning depending on circumstances.
