Did you tell it? I don't remember. ;)              I should have quoted Dallas:              DH> In other words, "horse" is equivalent to "perfume". We       DH> could say "smelled like skunk", "smelled like manure",       DH> "smelled like perfume", and so on.              By the way, I have no objections to "smelled of horse" but       am not happy with "smelled like horse" and can't help but       want to insert an article after `like'.              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/2 16/0 120/544 123/130 131 203/0 221/1 6 360       SEEN-BY: 226/17 227/114 229/354 426 1014 240/1120 2100 5138 5832 5853       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 317/3 320/119 219 322/0 757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 2454/119       PATH: 221/6 1 320/219 240/5832 229/426           |
