      Alexander Koryagin:              AK> BTW, it is a hummer time to ask here where is the       AK> difference between "you are welcomed" and "you are       AK> welcome"?              The one relates the actual action of welcoming and the other       a potential readiness thereto. Compare the following       sentences:               You are welcomed in my house.        You are welcome in my house.              The first implies that you come regularly and are received       well, and the second indicates the condition that if you       come, you shall be welcome. Its truth value does not depend       on whether you come or not.              ---        * Origin: *** nntp://fidonews.mine.nu *** Finland *** (2:221/6.0)    |
