Is this sentence correct:In today's world, individuals are encountered with a huge volume of knowledge.?

Question

In today's world, individuals are encountered with a huge volume of knowledge and information

Answer 1

Watch grammar.
Is enountered like interface -- a noun-verb?

People today have access to a vast amount of knowledge and information.

But they still need to know mechanics such as punctuation, spelling and grammar.

Answer 2

Well, it looks like everyone else interpreted what you wrote one way, and I took it totally differently - I read it as passive voice. So, even though it is a grammatically correct sentence as a passive statement, it seems to be open to misinterpretation, so how about:

In today's world, you encounter individuals with a huge volume of knowledge.

That changes it to active voice.

On the other hand, if those above have the right feel, it may just be a word choice error:

In today's world, individuals are encumbered with a huge volume of knowledge.

Answer 3

It should be either:
In today's world, individuals encounter a huge volume of knowledge and information.

or

In today's world, individuals are presented with a huge volume of knowledge and information.

Good luck.

Answer 4

No-it's not proper grammar. Here are some alternatives:

In today's world, individuals encounter a huge volume of knowledge and information.

In today's world, individuals are innundated with a plethora of knowledge and information.

Answer 5

No, that is bad grammar.

In the modern world, individuals encounter a huge volume of information.

You can't encounter knowledge. Either you have it or you don't. Knowledge outside of yourself is information.

Answer 6

Change "encountered" to "faced".
Change "volume" to "input".

Answer 7

You would not put a comma after "world." That's known as a comma splice.
