'it cottons on'?
Hello . . . and welcome to my account! Thanks for welcoming me, too! You say entirely unnecessary, just fire away? Okay here I start off then!
Is this usage of 'cotton on' correct?
I have just opened English Forums website, and it cottons on I haven't asked a question for a long while!
