It's correct, according to the OED. Only problem with this usage is the tautological 'very,' adverbially modifying 'concerted,' but that's probably a deliberate choice, and is consistent with his hyperbolic style.


I'd say that BSNYC's writing is some of the best on the Intertubes; few people are so consistently acerbic, witty and observant. Of course, he's only been around for a couple of months; I'm curious to see how long he can maintain the quality. I'd say that one of his greatest virtues is that he isn't malicious or mean, and often mocks his own riding abilities (he's made several comments concerning his lack of aptitude in races). I think that most of the rancor he's earned is due to many of his shots landing rather close to their marks. Reading his site is a refreshing antidote to all the d***-waving that goes on in the forums, and I think that people who believe he's 'serious' aren't getting the message...they should try crushing some tinfoil on their antennas, maybe they'll get a clearer signal.
