|    "The honor to report that..."    |
|    03 Jan 19 12:33:18    |
      Hello, all              I have read recently that "I have the honor to report       that..." is incorrect and that one should say "I have the       honor of reporting that...":              > Official committee reports in English of the Canadian       > House of Commons all contain the phrase "Your Committee       > has the honour to present its Xth Report". That should of       > course be "the honour of presenting."              But why? It is the more difficult for me to understand       because in my naytive Russian the infinitive version is only       natural.              ---        * Origin: *** nntp://fidonews.mine.nu *** Finland *** (2:221/6.0)    |
