	Avangi  +  610273 Fri, 12 Dec 08 01:58 PM I don't think so.  You might say, "I think those jeans look / are right for you. Before putting them on, i.e., when selecting them from a rack or catalog, you could say, "I think these jeans look / would be   good / right for you. I don't think there's anything wrong with saying they look good for you while you're wearing them.  I just think it's much less common than "good on you," in my experience.

	Tidus  +  610289 Fri, 12 Dec 08 02:26 PM That is the dictionary definition of what sweat is. In writing or conversation, the term is simply 'sweat'. It is not sweat water, or sweat liquid, it is simply 'sweat'. Tidus Speaking, Chat, Friendships, Conversational
