00HI,02br
02br
00Is "originally" interchangeable with "first" in the above? 02br
02br
00Besides, do both along and down fit in the above and mean about the same to you? Thanks.0-

10To me, 'down' indicates a sense of time, from one generation to another; 'along' means to people in the current time.02br
