I <verb> and am <rest of sentence> Great answer, thanks. Indeed, my lack of comfort with this sentence is the "isolation" of "am". |

What is the difference between “nothing but”, “anything but”, and “everything but”? and "all but" - seen here for example: "Apple has sent out event invitations for an announcement on March 2, all but certain to be focused on the next-generation iPad.", from arstechnica.com/apple/news/2011/02/… |

Recommended books on writing well in English? @Robusto: yes, the pun is cute, but I agree with Colin that there's more to writing than punctuation! |

What is the difference between “nothing but”, “anything but”, and “everything but”? Curiously I've seen some people (of south-african origin, if that matters) use "anything but" the other way around. this is why I suspected an ambiguity - but perhaps they were just wrong |
