How do you say?

Hi Nu-nudge,

Are you sure the word isn't 'violet'? A violet is a type of flower.

Hello, Nu-nudge, welcome!

I'm afraid your question has already been answered: What does it mean?

Hi Pieanne,

Your link didn't work for me. Only the word 'post' came up in blue, not the number '118526'. Is there a way to search a post by its number?

Strange, for it works well for me... I still haven't mastered how to format etc... on the new version. The thread I mentioned is still in the "idioms & voc" list; it's "how do you say", by anon, answered by Goldmund. Tell me if you find it?

Thank, Pieanne,

Found it under 'What does it mean?'

The question remains why clicking on your link worked for you, but not for me. Does this work for you?

What does it mean?

Does it look different from yours? (It does on my screen--all components are in blue.)

No, you're right, Davkett, my link didn't work... Only "post" was written in blue, whereas in yours everything was blue. What did you type? or how did you do?

I believe it's actually done the old way:

Put the word 'post' in brackets as usual, follow with typing the post number, followed by a bracket, forward stroke, the word'post', then bracket. No spaces.

Bracket, 'post', bracket, 118526, bracket, forward stroke, 'post', bracket.

Do you mean these [ ] brackets, or those ( ) ?

These: [ ]

That's what I did... beats me...

let me try again: What does it mean?

Ah well, must have made a wrong move somewhere... Sorry , Davkett...
