   Hi, Mark Lewis!   
   I read your message from 15.12.2018 02:48   
      
    AK>> BTW, it is a hummer time to ask here where is the difference   
    AK>> between   
      
    AK>> "you are welcomed" and "you are welcome"?   
    AK>   
      
    ML> as i understand it, just like seeing one deer or many deer, welcome   
    ML> is also the past tense of welcome but then that may depend on   
    ML> context as i remember a book containing a passage similar to "he   
    ML> was welcomed at the gates of the city"... possibly it has to do   
    ML> with noun vs verb vs adjective usage?   
      
    ML> https://www.google.com/search?q=define%3A+welcome   
      
    ML> maybe the above google dictionary definition helps?   
      
   If we consider the adjective I liked the most "welcome == gladly wanted".   
      
   Bye, Mark!
