   Alexander Koryagin to Dallas Hinton:   
      
   AK> Anton  has  told  me  that  you told me that King Arthas   
   AK> smelled like horse (without an  article)  because  horse   
   AK> was a substance. 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'.
