Imagine 2 people having a friendly conversation, the proper question to ask is to leave out "ever". # 1 is correct in form but it will be likely to end the conversation. When "ever" (which is an adverb) is used in this tone, it carries a predisposed notion that the person to whom you are asking this question has never at any time gone anywhere, or done anything positve.http://www.englishforums.com/English/IntroducingDaizy/lqcdv/post.htmTue, 24 Nov 2009 13:03:21 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:997972daizyHi, every body.

I don't speak Hindi. This is an English Forum.

Completely on stylistic grounds I think. It sounds stuffy to me -- like saying My friend GG is one of intelligence and good humor . What's the phrase? De gustibus non disputandum -- or some such Latin thing about there being no arguing about taste. I didn't mean to suggest that the construction itself was ungrammatical, but I admit it may have come off that way. CJ P.S. Did you know that your cat's got its head on upside down?http://www.englishforums.com/English/IntroducingChecay/lpxcr/post.htmMon, 23 Nov 2009 02:43:41 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:996506checayHello, everyone.

Is take away an idiom? I couldn't find this term in my dictionaries online. The only thing I found is that British ppl use it as 'takeout foods.' Would you explain to me that if the above usage is correct? normal? popular?
