	Clive  +  956230 Thu, 29 Oct 09 02:18 PM Hi, Support once or Supporting once. ( Support twice or Supporting twice ) In what context do you want to use this phrase?   For parking - can I say " you can park the car beside the road." ( some parking spaces on the road. can I call it ' road parking ' or any other answers. ) You can park at/on the side of the road.

Regarding "support once question", I want to use this phrase for BBS. Sometimes you find a good topic in a BBS, and support the topic starter. Can I post " Supporting once" or " Support once" ?   many thanks for your help.

Or at least say "I'm interested in reading a response to this as well." If I saw "supporting once" I would have no idea what you meant.   Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,683 Barbara, who answers in American English.
