alc24Hello Mr Micawber,Can I ask you about the sentence you used "Joined' is normally used of clubs, not companies.""used of" does that mean "used when talking about" as I've never heard it. I know it must me that, but is it american?Thank you
Mister MicawberIt is not a typo, and 'used of' is perfectly acceptable, Anne, though it may not yet have reached the backwaters of Fell Avenue or Esplanade Avenue, North Vancouver.
