The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free.
But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient.
Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead.
Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?
The not sleeping good, as in well, is nonetheless related to an issue of interpersonal morals/ethics? So perhaps the word is here bearing a polysemic freight?
When I lived in France I did a lot of "learning though use" of language. So when you're squashed in the back of a car with a load of other people and someone wants to check you're OK you don't say, "je suis bonne" unless you want them all to pretend to start eating you...
i completely agree that song lyrics have poetic licence, no probs with that. I think I'm just coming from the POV of someone who is constantly correcting his kids when they tell me that "yeah, I'm good". (And add to that list being in a restaurant when they ask the waiter "Can I get...". I will never stop telling them that no, they cannot get because they don't work there)
The song 'push it' by Salt'n'Pepa, which has the chorus/ refrain 'push it real good', would definitely not work if the lyric was changed to 'push it really well'
I think your version is a shoddy one, Columba. I'm sure I'd have noticed what you've quoted. Sure it's usually 'O' rather than 'Oh', and either 'hands have' or 'hand hath'.
