to Put in / To Put into? or anything else

[Znuk]

How would your write the following sentence. I guess its sense is clear?


- Thanx to the Security Staff who made me putting all the stuff from the stroller into the xray machine
- Thx to the Security Staff who made me put all the stuff from the stroller in the xray machine.
- ?

No actually, it's not clear, sorry. What do you want us to do?

Also can you please look up unknown words: thanx, xray ..

Thanks!

I totally agree with Keswick that there is no need for you to use textspeak here on the forum.

The relative clause is non-restrictive and therefore must be separated by a comma. There is a distinct difference between "the security staff who made ..." and "the security staff, who made ...".
it doesn't really matter whether you use in or into. You could also use on or onto since that kind of luggage inspection machine usually has a conveyor belt for the luggage.
I havn't yet seen stroller used for anything else but a baby carriage.

Damn the Thanks button. It's to close to quote.

I think this is sarcasm, like "Well thank you for having me waste my time and effort".

What do you think?

[Znuk]

Well first of all, I would like to thank everybody for answering my question and I do apologize if I have used textspeak, which is common in forums but not here.
Sorry for that, I didn't realize.

Take a look at that picture: http://instagr.am/p/Z4h-X/ . There are ways to use a stroller apart of carrying babies.




Back to my sentence:

Thanks to the Security Staff, who made me putting all the stuff from the stroller into the x-ray machine.


should be OK then. Thank you for your quick response!

Thanks to the security staff, who made me take all the stuff out of the stroller and put it into the x-ray machine.

The word "stroller" still sounds so wrong in my ears, probably because we don't use it in the UK.

[tiorthan]

It's generally not advisable to use textspeak in a new forum (unless you've follod the discussions and can be certain it is acceptable). You chance to upset people by using proper spelling is virtually nonexistant.

I just wanted you to make sure you did mean an actual stroller and not a luggage cart or something.

@Keswick: What do you call it in the UK? Buggy?

Thanks to the Security Staff, who made me put all the stuff from the stroller into the x-ray machine.

Must be an infinitive.

@Keswick: What do you call it in the UK? Buggy?

Aye!

Must be an infinitive.

What's wrong with my version?

[tiorthan]

What's wrong with my version?

My eyesight obviously ... I really didn't realize you had corrected it already.

[Znuk]

Thank you again for your quick answers.

By the way, I did never care about the english term for the word stroller until I flew from Basel to Berlin with my daughter in the stroller, when I had to learn quickly:
Of course, it had to pass the x-ray machine as well...

As Easyjet (aren't they british?) used the word, I didn't think about and just added it to my word pool...

[Keswick (Contributor)]

Yes they are British and the word stroller is known in the UK (derives from the word to stroll) but it's not commonly used, not where I live anyway .

[tiorthan]

Stroller is used in North America and Australia but the UK folks are an odd people But generally it's no surprise that airport people would use it.

[Keswick (Contributor)]

Odd? No, special.. very special!
