[B-Greek] Beginner Struggling with Translating

Ha!,

I wasn't trying to give Mounce an excuse.  I think it was cheap of him not 
to answer his own workbook.  My point was that the workbook answers might 
not be as accurate as you would expect from Mounce himself.  Also, I think 
Mounce would have provided workbook solutions that were solely based on 
information found in his textbook.  His protoge, on the other hand, gives 
many solutions that include grammatical knowledge not found in Basics of 
Biblical Greek.  Don't get me wrong, Mounce is totally responsible for 
letting this guy do his work.  Using a T.A. for a class is one thing, using 
a T.A. for a nationally published and bestselling work is another.
