How can a person have more than one birthday?
You are an impressive guy...I read a lot of your stuff outside of this forum.

You mean once a year you celebrate the day you were born? You only have one birthday :eek:Quote:

Wow...someone pee in your Cheerios today? I was just having fun.Quote:

Oh come on. There's no way he was just born. Surely he descended from the heavens carried by digital gods? Borne, maybe, but born? Nah!

Actually I've never understood how 'by and large' ever came to mean anything. It's not even grammatical!
Happy birthday jmcilhinney. You are the toppest of top blokes and obviously everyone thinks you're tops. Keep up the top work.
"By and large" is actually a nautical expression, or at least a combination of nautical terms, that pretty much means "into the wind and with the wind". That means that, as an every day expression, "by and large" should mean "in all conditions" but it has somehow come to mean "for the most part".Quote:
