It is too loathsome, IMHO.               AS>> Correction: "should not" or "ought not to" (depending on what you        AS>> mean).               AK>> Is it true, Ardith? Can I replace "speak" for "to"?               AH> I agree with Anton that "to" as you used it here doesn't work. IMHO        AH> what he's suggesting is that if you don't want to overuse the        AH> verb "speak" you could correctly say "he should not (do so)" or "he        AH> ought not to (do so)".              I meant something like this:       -----Beginning of the citation-----       "Instead of which," I said, "in a month's time I take the most important       examination of my career."              "I should advise you not to." (Ch. Snow)       ----- The end of the citation -----              I.e. the main idea (I take the most important examination) was replaced by       "to", so that to be shorter.              Bye, Ardith!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2019              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 227/114 229/354 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 1634 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5006 5268 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200       SEEN-BY: 393/68 2454/119       PATH: 221/6 1 280/5003 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
