delivering deliveries 21:47 May 14, 2009
Although you are right, Arno, and it is the case that one receives a delivery of goods, one can also make a delivery of a shipment, as in the case of DHL or UPS. Further, one can receive either a shipment or a delivery of goods, such as images, or even a supply of images. On the other hand, someone should tell Katja that an image supply is not the same as supplying an image, which still does not implicitly require the delivery, or shipment, or even a transfer of that image, since it may already be in the possession of the individual(s). As for transferring an image, or anything else, you do not need the technology of the 21st century to do this. Items have been transferred from one place to another by hand for centuries. I see no reason why images can not be digitally shipped, delivered, transferred, or sent. You can send a whole supply of images by any of these methods, but they would usually be an "archive". None of the above is specific to US English, or any other form of the language any of you happen to be familiar with. |
