Re: Favorite Quotes by Booters BottledViolence wrote: Knaight wrote: Lord Foul wrote: "I swore them off" clearly indicates that they are the subject of the swearing. The statement means that the oath is upon them... and that's where it goes all wrong, because you cannot swear them to off. It's just nonsense! You're trying to force grammatical sense upon an idiomatic expression, and using the failure to do so as evidence that the idiomatic expression is wrong. This is abject nonsense, and clearly fails on a whole host of other idioms; much like other idioms, "I swore them off" has a grammatically sound analog. In this case, an approximation would be "I swore that I would no longer have anything to do with them", where the state of no longer having anything to do with you is applied to them as an adjective, shortened to "off", and "I swore them off" makes sense within the context of "I swore, and as such rendered them off", where "as such rendered" is removed.   |

Re: Favorite Quotes by Booters North Wind wrote: Krenn wrote: Your statement confuses and scares me. It implies there are times in the day without coffee, which is abhorrent and badthink. Doubleplus ungood. It's been years since I drank coffee. I swore off it after leaving my job at a 7-Eleven, because I came home every day smelling like it and having trouble falling asleep because I could smell fresh coffee. _________________ Freemage wrote: I...
