If it is, what's the attitude? admiration eg Winston Churchill was a man whose like we shall not see again.   (I guess it is negative.) No. It sounds wrong to say eg Hitler was a man whose like we shall not see again.   Clive       Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,585 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo

	Philip  +  961559 Wed, 04 Nov 09 03:42 PM Hi, Clive! I don't want to confuse the issue here, because your answer is so precise.  However, I have in my head that it should be "likes".  Have I just heard it wrong all these years?  To be honest, the plural form doesn't make sense to me, but that's what I think I have heard.  Thanks.

	Clive  +  961693 Wed, 04 Nov 09 07:08 PM Hi Philip, Here are a few relevant parts from my dictionary.   noun like - a counterpart; an equal; a similar person or thing (we shall not see its like again)   the likes of informal a person such as  (my example - We shall not see the likes of Winston Churchill again.)   Best wishes again, Clive Clive
