I don&amp;#39;t think that &amp;quot;double Dutch&amp;quot; refers to a more elaborate processing method - I think that some cooks call their cakes, desserts, etc. &amp;quot;double Dutch&amp;quot; to make them sound more enticing.   &amp;quot;Double Dutch darky&amp;quot; could mean &amp;quot;pure darky,&amp;quot; I suppose, but I think it&amp;#39;s more likely to mean &amp;quot;chocolate darky.&amp;quot; Say someone&amp;#39;s girlfriend got a dark tan. He might say, &amp;quot;Wow, you&amp;#39;re the color of cinnamon. Give me a kiss, you little cinnamon bun.&amp;quot; That&amp;#39;s how I see this, as almost affectionate.

You should not say: I am leaving now not to be late. You need to state the purpose more clearly: I am leaving now IN ORDER not to be late (or SO AS not to be late). Also, if there are infinitives, you should use IN ORDER to make it easier for your reader: I borrowed my friend&amp;#39;s car to drive to impress my girlfriend. Better: I borrowed my friend&amp;#39;s car to drive IN ORDER to impress my girlfriend.</description></item><item><title>Re: Help</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/Help/kxmpj/post.htm#908452</link><pubDate>Sat, 19 Sep 2009 07:43:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:908452</guid><dc:creator>mrpernickety</dc:creator><description>Girlfriends just love proper capitalization and punctuation!

 Your quip about money made me thing of this old joke: 
  
 Girls like attention (=time you spend on them) and money. Hence Girls = time * money. 
 Popular wisdom says that time is money. Hence, Girls = money * money 
 As we all know all too well, money is the root of all evil....

 One should never accept another person&amp;#39;s opinion about a movie unless you know they have the same theatrical tastes as you. For example, the movie Pulp Fiction ; I liked the character development and the action but my girlfriend didn&amp;#39;t like it.

 &amp;#39;It&amp;#39; refers to the latter part of the sentence, ie when you break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend.
