Meaning of “plumb” as verb Indeed, it says "plumb depth", but in the printed version of the newspaper it's as I posted it. First I posted the correct link which is pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/viewer.aspx but Alenanno complained that the link doesn't work for him. So you're right about the different title. I think what matters here is an explanation of "plumb" in this context - or in both if possible. Thanks a lot for the answer. |

Meaning of “plumb” as verb @Alenanno: Yes, but that's the title exactly as it's written in the printed version - for some reason otherwise replicates of the article on the web have different titles(!). I believe the link is not really necessary since my question is not relevant to the content of the article. Hey, how about an answer? ;) |

Meaning of “plumb” as verb @Alenanno: Since the title I report and the one in the linked article are not identical, I'll remove the link to obfuscate any misunderstanding. |

Meaning of “plumb” as verb @Alenanno : I found the article in the web site of IHT but it has a different title. The link is goo.gl/JNDzL. However the title in the printed version is as above. There's another copy of the article on-line at goo.gl/tpWNU but again with slightly different title! The link I posted works here. Should I change it? |

Word for “decorated too much” Thanks a lot! I very much liked the idiom gilding the lily; I found the definition here: thefreedictionary.com/gilding+the+lily (bedizen is not exactly what I was looking for). |
