crushed finer than in the firststep Explanation: first step crushed into pieces, second step crushed into finer (smaller) pieces -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2006-04-23 18:26:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I've noticed the discussions about finer or more finely, and to tell you the truth, I think it's a bit of a tempest in a teapot, as I believe Sanjiv is asking for an explanation to facilitate his translation into another language. I do think, however, that finer is perfectly 'fine' here, as it is an adjective for the ore and not an adverb for grinding. I am an American BTW, and not above making grammatical errors by any means. |
