Wally said >>but then the girls would be chilly not the blouses. or could you say it that way? <<
of course you could. English literature (not a contradiction in terms) is full of such examples, especially in poetry, but it happens too in many songs. Ill not give examples here but Jonis songs are, I suspect, full of examples too. OK, Ill give one example thats just jumped into my head. Natalie Merchant sings in The Lowlands of Holland The weary winds began to roar, the seas they began to shout Its the effect of the storm at sea that makes the sailors weary but the adjective is applied to the cause rather than the effect, or if you prefer, to the agent rather than the recipient, as in the chilly blouses. mike in bcnnp lydia van damme (thanxs John) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: Click Here
