Hi! Alexander, On 03 May 19 21:39, you wrote to me: AK> But "lack" is the subject, and "saps" is the predicate to "lack" I am out of my depth here.[gulp] I withdraw. AK> So, "Their apparent lack of progress MEANS they are not doing their AK> job properly." -- here we have "lack" uncountable. Yes. (I'll play a visual pun at this point and transverse an 's'...) They're a _slack_ mob for not working hard enough.[weak grin] AK> [a lack of food] AK> here we use "lack" as singular noun. Okay. What fun. |
