Questioning correctness of certain words or phrases
Hi, I sometimes am not sure about correctness of a certain word or phrases.
eg, ... is harped a miracle in the East. I have heard and saw somewhere that you can say "harped as ..." but just "harped ..."? It does seem to make sense but how could I check if this is OK or correct?
... garbage up the neighborhood. I don't remember hearing it. It makes intuitional sense but how could I check if this is OK or correct?
