Recently you wrote in a message to Anton Shepelev:               AK> When a person is in a company of friends he never speaks        AK> formally. And he should not to. It is too loathsome, IMHO.               AS> Correction: "should not" or "ought not to" (depending on        AS> what you mean).               AK> Is it true, Ardith? Can I replace "speak" for "to"?                      I agree with Anton that "to" as you used it here doesn't work. IMHO       what he's suggesting is that if you don't want to overuse the verb "speak" you       could correctly say "he should not (do so)" or "he ought not to (do so)". :-)                                   --- timEd/386 1.10.y2k+        * Origin: Wits' End, Vancouver CANADA (1:153/716)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 226/17 227/114 229/354 426 1014 240/1120 1634       SEEN-BY: 240/2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003       SEEN-BY: 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200 393/68 2454/119       PATH: 153/7715 261/38 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
