Tea for the Tillerman Reading the lyrics in context, we have rewards for the bringer of the rain, the sun itself, and the "tillerman". What goes with the rain and the sun? The tiller of the soil. |

What is the antonym of “luck out”? I'm with Jim. "Striking out" is trying and failing, whereas "Lucking out" is due to, well... luck. |

Is “audience” singular or plural? Great answer. How ironic that the Brits don't speak proper english! :-p |

One word for the type of smile which suggests “I’ve got you! Now you can’t escape!” There's a smile that says all that? Is there a frown that says, "The truth is, you could actually escape if you wanted to."? |

Which pronoun refers to a group such as an orchestra — “they” or “it”? I might have said, "The members of the orchestra go." but that's not specific. "The members of the orchestra go as well" would be fine, but what's wrong with "..with it"? Where did the members of the orchestra go? "With it. (the orchestra)" The fact is that the orchestra is very much apart from its members. The orchestra is generally permanent and distinct from its members. For example, the orchestra may be contractually bound to appear or paid for promotion or royalty reasons, while its members may not be so bound or so paid. The orchestra is an "it" and the members are "them". |

the difference between “really” and “very” I very much agree with you, in very strong terms. Really. |
