By the way,        AS> repetition is not always cacophonic[1]. It is even recognised as a        AS> figure of speech!               AS> Now that have read it again, I think that "the company" is much        AS> better than "a company" (of friends).              It's interesting indeed. "A company of friends" looks somehow unique. ;-)              Bye, Anton!       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           |
