How About + Finite Clause
First, I didn't understand the term "OP". So, I consulted the Urban Dictionary. Does that mean "Original Poster"? I am the one who posted this thread. Therfore, I don't know where the original poster is exept for mine.
Then what do you see as the referent of "the OP's main example"?
I didn't get what/where "the referent of the example" is, struggling to interpret that.
A dictionary says "referent" is the thing or person that is meant by a word or phrase.
Your question is: what do you see as the thing or person that is meant by the example?
It's still over my head. What/where is "the thing or person" that is meant by the example?
Here is a context.
(in the house)
1: You're home early today.
2: You do realize it's Sunday?
1: Oh, right
2: I caused a lot of trouble for you. Hey.
1: ?
2: How about the two of us go somewhere this coming Sunday?
There are just two people in the house. The two of us means both "1" and "2".
