A well-laid-out apartment is a well-designed one, isn't it?    Takoyaki-English Joined on Tue, Apr 29 2008 Japan Full Member (121)

	nona the brit  #509102  Sat, 03 May 08 10:24 PM Hi Fandorin, Bit off-topic but why did you use 'lads' at the end there? This may not be appropriate.    nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member (11,340) The name says it all.

	Takoyaki-English  #509169  Sun, 04 May 08 04:39 AM Hello. I'd say that "everyone/everybody" and "all" are appropriate.    Takoyaki-English

	Fandorin  #532020  Tue, 24 Jun 08 09:10 PM  So, I want to show sincere gratitude and think that here we are might be friends. Isn't it appropriate in this way or you mean in grammatical way? So, I get real mean of that word. Yes, I think it mayn't be appropriate.    Fandorin

	Grammar Geek  #532022  Tue, 24 Jun 08 09:12 PM Hi Fandorin, The possible problem with "lads" is that it applies to males only.      Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Pennsylvania, USA Veteran Member (15,541) Barbara, who answers in American English.

	Fandorin  #532023  Tue, 24 Jun 08 09:14 PM Yes, I figured it out. Thank you.     Fandorin
