Hi Anton -- on Jul 03 2019 at 14:33, you wrote: AS> I should have quoted Dallas: DH>> In other words, "horse" is equivalent to "perfume".

Ahh AS> By the way, I have no objections to "smelled of horse" but AS> am not happy with "smelled like horse" and can't help but AS> want to insert an article after `like'. Understandable, but "like horse" is quite permissible. I think you may be analyzing too deeply -- English is marked more by it's exceptions than it's rules! Cheers...
