bhikkhu1991  +  607201 Sun, 07 Dec 08 09:24 AM   Hello,     The comma is wrong.  Good catch!   What is the synonym of the word “catch”, please?   I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you so much.     Best wishes. bhikkhu1991 Joined on Mon, Mar 31 2008 Full Member 116 Commas, Synonyms, Punctuation, Writing

	Avangi  +  607363 Sun, 07 Dec 08 02:33 PM I think it's kind of a sporting expression.  If I'm not mistaken, the quote you refer to involves spotting or spying someone making an error.  That is, you "catch" someone in a mistake.  If you hadn't "caught" him, he might have gotten away with it.  I can't think of a synonym. In some sports, eg., baseball, they use "good get" as a synonym for "good catch," but it's a fairly new expression.  The difference between this and your example is that in baseball you job is to catch the ball  -   even the difficult ones.  When you catch someone making a mistake, you may or may not be looking for violators.  You may just "happen" to see it. Of course, "Good catch!" could refer to fishing.

	Grammar Geek  +  607373 Sun, 07 Dec 08 02:52 PM I agree. There's not really a synonym. Good observation - I'm glad you found that error. That's about the closest I can get.
