Deal! :lol:
Then I would say that I am right and your dictionary is wrong. Also, I am incredibly arrogant. :D You should have gotten rid of the bold -- it confused me -- I had to read it 3 times to understand your point! :P I still maintain that your dictionary is wrong -- it should be "he". Seriously. That's my argument. I really don't know anything about the English language (I hated those stupid classes) -- but I'm quite sure I'm in the right here.Quote:

Sorry, I thought as much that the bold parts could confuse you (as though they were intended to be bold by me and not the dictionary) but in the end decided to respect the original text from the dictionary and leave them in place. It proved to be a wrong decision. My bad.Quote:

Or maybe you are indeed just incredibly arrogant :P :lol:
Or maybe it's just the matter of context.
Or, finally, maybe you are indeed right :lol:
Anyway, it's not that important. I hope I haven't been too much of an annoyance for you :lol:
Both these sentences sound awkward.Quote:

Of course it does. But it has NOTHING to do with the grammar question he had...Quote:
