If their        AH> behaviour is out of the ordinary &/or requires a bit of risk-        AH> taking, that adds some weight AFAIC. :-)              May be the speaker's intonation is important. Can I say it scornfully to my       wife when she cooked something badly, "Good for you!" ;-)              Bye, Ardith!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2020              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 203/0 221/1 6 360 227/114 229/426 1014 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/1634 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 8005 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5006 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200       SEEN-BY: 382/147 423/81 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 280/5003 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
