00 But 01 u 00 a "let's get to know each other better" 02 u 00 wasn't quite receptive. Sorry. 02 br

02 br 00 I'd suggest the quotation marks for the longer, less common greetings, but 01 i 00 thank-you 02 i 00 at least is a countable noun in its own right (see [url= 05 0 00 ]HERE[/url]) and needs none. q=thank+you&r=66

0 Thank you, Mr. M. How would assess the validity of this use of the articlce "a"? An instance of/example of "let's get to know each other better"? Unlikely it seems. I would be nodding my head for agreement if a decision time for the use of the article "a" for "a 'thank-you' or 'hello' an an example of either of them or an instance of saying "hello" came but something as elaborate as "let's g
