Here, however, the phrase appears in the context of a test question which is expected to be answered solely on the basis of what is within the test itself. There is nothing within the part of the test that is reproduced here to render this use of the phrase incorrect. | |

On this site, questions that are two lines long invariable get closed, and it would be a pity to close this question, which I rather liked. But if you dislike the edit, roll it back. I won't "help" any further. | |

| Sep 19, 2018 at 6:43 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Can you provide a little more detail? Can you explain what the disagreement between you and your teacher was about? Could you tell us where you saw this headline? Is there a link? This could make an interesting question but it needs more "meat" (substance). | |
