Isn't a forum the place for this? Doesn't everyone have the right (within forum rules) to write what they want where they want?People saying something for the sake of saying something and wanting to be involved![]()
If you get fitted for a set of golf clubs are they bespoke?![]()
Hmmm, I’d bet that cloth for a suit is specifically manufactured for that use only, I can’t imagine walking around town looking like I’ve come straight out of IKEA![]()
Jeez I hope it stops raining for you guys soon![]()
36* in the shade here right now. Just going to do 10mins gardening, which leads to rehydration(cider).

Can we stop with this please. It doesn't help anyone, it sends the thread downhill. No more barely cryptic posts, no more personal attacks.people playing the poster
Yes.
Even back in the mists of time, 1500’s, it could be used in past participle, verb or as an adjective. 500 years ago the English language contained a lot less words, and pinching a word to use differently was quite common. As the number of words expanded so its usage became narrower but more recently, almost through laziness, usage has expanded again.
More recently we’ve seen “gay” and “woke” used very differently. Sometimes it irritates, and saddens, but it’s just a natural expansion/contraction/expansion of any language.
What can be of interest is to use an old English translator. For example, the word “aet” was very common 500 years ago. The modern version is “to.” Figure that one out…![]()
If the cap fits…

This could be true for many cloths, but not necessarily all cloths.Hmmm, I’d bet that cloth for a suit is specifically manufactured for that use only, I can’t imagine walking around town looking like I’ve come straight out of IKEA![]()

I guess that's aimed at me.
I've got a four legged pet, with fur, a tail, a wet nose and barks.
I'm going to call it a cat.
Is that fluid enough for you?
