I enjoy watching old footages of Beirut and these two videos are the longest footages I’ve seen of Beirut in a while. I tracked down the source to this [website] which has old footage from the INA Channel and it seems someone actually bought them and uploaded them.
I had no clue there was a tramway that passed right in front of AUB.
No clue? The clue is still there. The rails have been on Bliss since ever…
very nice.. was transfixed on them all the way..
Wow. What’s so sad is that we were more advanced at the time relative to where we are in the world today.
Some words in English are both singular and plural – like sheep and footage. So there is no need to add an ‘s’ to the end of footage to make it plural.
Believe me, I understand that this is a personal effort but your blog is read by hundreds, perhaps thousands of people every day. So wouldn’t it be better for you to ensure that the language you use is correct rather than reinforcing bad habits and mistakes?
Ed,
If you noticed I didn’t put “s” in the title. I misspelled it in the post only 🙂
Anyway thank you for the correction.
