Grammar question

I guess I'll have to look it up, but I think the verb "to muse" is intransitive, like "to smile, " or "to laugh."

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it can be transitive, like "to mumble."

Anyway, it must be transitive to be used in passive voice. "I never have any luck." The words were mused by Jake, as the cuffs snapped shut.

But I'm not sure I know how to muse a person

AnonymousWould it be incorrect to describe a person as legendarily mused?

Can you tell us what you mean in other words? Do you mean that the person was "legendarily absorbed in thought" or something like that?

Yes, I mean something like that. Not that they were necessarily absorbed in thought but they had great creative energy. Though each of those things could easily follow the other. Perhaps I can find better words for what I am trying to say? I'm fine with saying it this way, so long as it is grammatically correct. My grammar is not perfect.

Hi Anon

Personally, I don't like "legendarily mused" at all. I agree with Avangi, and I find it hard to believe that anyone would be willing to label that as "correct".

I'd be willing to accept a person being described as "legendarily mused about". However, that would have a different meaning from what you're after.

Why not say something such as "his creativity was l

After reading here while doing a little more research I've decided that I agree, that usage is not correct. I am going to find a better way to describe what I am trying to say. Thank you!

IMO it's incorrect as it stands. Could you please try to use your expression, or a substitute, in a sentence. That would help.

Edit. Sorry, somehow these last three posts were not showing up in my thread. (perhaps the Anon. delay)
