"I saw some nice furniture at XXX yesterday" = a few nice pieces of furniture. "I read it in some book" = I don't remember which one. "That was some book!" = that book was excellent. "I've brought some books with me" = a few books "some computer" ? "That's some computer!" = it is excellent. "They're going to buy some computers for the school" = a few computers. pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian!

Some computer..." MrP MrPedantic Joined on Tue, Oct 12 2004 Veteran Member 12,592 ...opella forensis / adducit febris...
