	maj  #4532  Sat, 16 Aug 03 10:39 AM I don't think you can say that. Could you say the school on the corner?    maj

	maj  #4547  Sat, 16 Aug 03 11:07 AM Can you say there is a glass house in the forest? The children attend a glasshouse in the forest and they don't play truant.    maj

	kitkattail  #4585  Sat, 16 Aug 03 05:36 PM No, school on the corner and glass house in the forest aren't really said. Around here, people mostly say "cutting class" or "skipping." Nobody really uses any of the other expressions when speaking informally.    kitkattail Joined on Tue, Aug 12 2003 Toronto Full Member (400)
