That's my advice! <br /> <br /><img src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" />Re: Somebody / Someonehttp://www.englishforums.com/English/SomebodySomeone/kngg/post.htm#52995Mon, 01 Nov 2004 02:05:46 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:52995bubu prasant1http://www.englishforums.com/English/SomebodySomeone/kngg/post.htm#52995http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-52995.xmlhi <br />I am a non native English speaker too. <br /> <br />I think basically there isn't any difference betwen the two.
