    Hi, All!

    ....
    "The sound of the alam clock is like the sound of a gunshot fo me!"
    "Does it rise you up?"
    "No, I lie as dead".

    or "a dead"? ;-)

    Bye, All!

    Hi Alexander,

    Wed 10 Jan 2024 12:14 :: you <2:221/6> -> All:

    The correct one would be "to lie dead" AFAIK.

    "Name" "Ivan Kuroedov"
    "Married?" "No, in was a car incident".

    It's "an accident".

    /to lie as dead/ is correct, and so is /to like as one
    dead/. /to lie as a dead/ is incorrect.

    Hi Ardith,

    Wed 17 Jan 2024 23:56 :: you <1:153/716> -> Alexander Koryagin:

    Hi, Alexander! Recently you wrote in a message to All:

    "The sound of the alam clock is like the sound of a
    gunshot fo me!"
    Uh... still wondering about your problems with quoting. It seems you omitted a couple of letters here, but Gleb & I quoted
    exactly what we saw. :-Q

    Could be just sloppy typing. Which may happen at times to us all. :-)
