Hey, cool;

Meandering, that's what i meant to say; oblivious to the world around them, or reality in general.

 

LOL - yeah , I really get into blood

 

Feeling peckish

 

We were looking up the same things simultaneously. But good to get it from the horse's (toothless) mouth. And, I do believe "King's English" is a proper phrase. (I've never made a mistake before. I thought I did once, but I was wrong.)

 

A "crimson tide" coming from your thumb? /ducks

 

True mastery is knowing the difference between "referred" and "alluded."

 

If there was a King, then it would be a proper phrase. When Her Majesty dies and Charles or William become King, then it'll be the `Kings English`

Just like every naval vessel will go from Her Majesties Ship to His Majesties Ship. His Majesties Government. And so on.

 

Very good. But you meant to say, "If there were a king," I believe.

 

I refer you to the allusion made by the honourable gentleman opposite, that `all friends of Dorothy would go to heaven`

 

With your writing/linguistic skills, you could be a laid off copywriter, just like me!

 

I can't write the "Queen's English." It only goes over in the field of law and in college term papers, and boring novels and The New Yorker.

 

But, I deduce you earned high grades in school and have a high IQ.

 

My favorite American "commercial" novelist is Nelson DeMille. I think you'd love his style.

 

Whew.

 

Maybe I'll try for the end of the page...

 

By the way, your usage of "was" was acceptable, at least according to Strunk and White.

 

All I really know about English is that there are 26 numbers in the alphabet and 8 parts of math.

 

And debates have numerators (the speakers) and a denominator (the guy who asks the questions).

 

And, if a thousand people are polled for political reasons, it still hurts to get polled.
