“best thing since X” My bad: I meant X doesn't surpass Y. |

“best thing since X” In that case, it implies that Y doesn't surpass X. |

“best thing since X” (otherwise, in the example, that thing isn't that great after all!) |

Correct punctuation in song lyrics that aren't necessarily good English Another approach is to add a comma etc where there is a natural pause in the melody, as lyricists often (but not always) fit the words to the meter of the melody. |

Quoting prices informally @MετάEd: I agree with Timwi that this question can stand sufficiently well without extra context, but if you or anyone else wish to know, I was unsure because I was taught that two pounds forty (pence) is correct though it's common to hear six foot two, instead of six feet two when asked for one's height. |

Quoting prices informally Thanks, I've heard two pounds and forty pence but not two pounds and forty pence. I wonder how that and two pound forty pence came about. |
