He's outstanding. The problem is that the rest are out running

I think he borrowed a hair net from the cafeteria ladies and it's too tight.

It's English. Read the words. Think about the meaning. That's how language works. I said out running, not running out!

Next time I must try and dumb it down for you.

Maybe it loses in translation from English to whatever language you Americans use.

May be time to remember this is an international forum (and better for it) and that language is not universal. Patience all.

Now time for me to head to the smiley.

The problem is we don't know who you're talking about. "He's outstanding" Who is he's? Now that is English. I've been using it for 60 some years. When 3 separate people have trouble understanding you, don't blame us. Don't be so sensitive.

Sorry Jack, I thought we had moved on. Just go back and read my first post which is a response to the quote I copy in the post. It's not really that complicated and I don't think I'm particularly sensitive.

Was it Churchill who called us "two nations separated by a common language"?

Now if we could, as requested, just move on. This is hardly a topic worthy of further dissection.
