Apg ,12.12 , Only joking . no offence meant.

[ToraToraTora]

where did I say that danny? I said most means "almost all".

[fiction-factory]

Yes, I think when there are two things being compared the word is MORE rather than MOST (as for OLDER/OLDEST)

[jno]

oops, yes, I did, ff.

[dannyk13]

Most can mean one more than, so not almost all.

[ToraToraTora]

well I always think of most meaning 90% +

> Perhaps we should change.

Yep, that'll go well ... the ensuing depopulation would be great for the environment.

I think it would be disastrous to change from right hand drive to left. Most (many/more?) people on visiting other countries don’t drive while they’re on holiday. A few people might be disoriented for a while when they do.
If we switched, every single driver would have to change and roads would have to be redone. It would be a nightmare.

Why are we called Limeys?
is it the limestone cliffs when coming into view ?

[emmie]

The term is thought to have originated in the 1850s as lime-juicer, later shortened to "limey", and originally used as a derogatory word for sailors in the British Royal Navy.

Bobbi //Why are we called Limeys?//
Because many years ago sailors ate limes as an antidote to scurvy/.

[ummmm]

It's not derogatory at all. It's a fact, the sailors ate limes as advised to do so.
