	Stenka25  +  686430 Sat, 14 Mar 09 12:07 AM "Out of question" means beyond question "Out of the question" means impossible But "out of question" is an obsolute expression, ie out of date. So "Nano the Brit" said it meant nothing, but you can see 'out of question' in written documents. Stenka25 Joined on Thu, Jul 13 2006 Seoul, South Korea Full Member 242 Dates

	rorineko  +  882437 Tue, 01 Sep 09 01:26 PM NICE to say.. 'OUT OF QUESTION' is stil WIDELY TAUGHT in traditional type, old and clumsy asian LANGUAGE LEARNING PROCESS.. Language in Schooling in Asia.. is mostly, especially CN, KR, TW, JP, HK.. ENGLISH is a 100% KNOWLEDGE that there are either "correct" or "incorrect" expressions.. Hence, the later changes of the dynamic part of this so INTEGRATED and UP-TO-THE-SPEAKER language are all ignored.. and.. most British people never says we are BRITS.. that's an older racist term.. (well not as much as RACE but the stereotype...) rorineko Joined on Tue, Sep 1 2009 New Member 04 Mephistophelean???
