| Oct 24, 2020 at 20:00 | comment | added | user398789 | @jsw29 I see. This was indeed a faux pas on my part. I'll make sure to fix my answer. Thanks for clearing this up for me! I do disagree with one point, however; Mr. Ashworth's answer incorrectly addressed (as far as I can tell) the OP's secondary doubt (why her scenario is different from the one in the answer she linked)—that's the reason why I decided to answer it in the first place: to clear that up. So our answers, taken as a whole, aren't really "the same." Nevertheless, you're correct in saying that the part of the answer specific to the title of the question is indeed the same. | |
| Oct 24, 2020 at 15:56 | comment | added | user398789 | @jsw29 Are you talking about Edwin Ashworth's comment? The only thing I took from it was the term "composite vocative." My answer was written before I read the comments. What changed was that I replaced all instances of "multi-word vocative" with "composite vocative" after reading Edwin's comment. I mean, this is pretty basic English—it's a given that two correct answers would sound similar, as there's very little room for interpretation here. If you still think that this warrants an acknowledgement, I'll edit my answer accordingly. I'm new here, so I'm not sure where the line is drawn. | |
