The lady's not for turning Alan-B was right. It's an Iron Maiden, of course, not a Lady. |

Appropriate to start business email or letter with just “Dear,”? If someone writes to you without using "Dear Mr / Miss <Whatever>" or "Dear Sir / Madam" - for example, opening an email with "Hello" or "Hi" - it's probably because they feel uncomfortable with the formality. In that case, replying and opening with their first name is IMO fine, if you feel comfortable too. |

What does “get in” mean? @Warlock, please consider visiting the new English Language Learner's site. It's just gone into beta and a question like this would be a good fit. |

What's the origin of the phrase “God's clean earth”, and how long has it been around? @FumbleFingers It is. Or should I say, It's... |

What's the origin of the phrase “God's clean earth”, and how long has it been around? @FumbleFingers I don't think they're the kind of people who'd refer to God's green earth; they may well have been referencing Blackadder without me realising though. As for Monty Python, I'd like to have an argument, please. |

What's the origin of the phrase “God's clean earth”, and how long has it been around? @FumbleFingers When I Googled the phrase before posting here, I found a number of uses that suggests it's starting to become idiomatic. I've certainly heard my friends use it before. It's definitely "clean" not "green". I can believe that it originally came from Blackadder (surprises me, but I can believe it) so thanks to those who've helped establish this for me. (For the record, I'm a she not a he - possibly better to use they as a singular neutral pronoun?) |

What's the origin of the phrase “God's clean earth”, and how long has it been around? I used the phrase in a forum, then wondered where on earth it came from, so I assume I must have heard it watching Blackadder itself. |

What's the origin of the phrase “God's clean earth”, and how long has it been around? Thank you. Given how many uses of it I found on the internet, I was curious (I just used it in an answer to someone on a forum, and found myself bemused). |
