Bolton applied the final nail in Alan Pardew's coffin, by thrashing West Ham 4-0.

Can any other verb substitute for apply here?

Also, can we also say "another nail" instead of "the final nail"?
This month's loss of $400 000 has applid another nail in the company's coffin.



Please refrain from posting until a native speaker has done so!

Thank you!

Hello

I should think you are not aware of the negative connotations of your sentence. Besides, you do not know the meaning of the word, thank you.
We helped you, and what -- you opened a new thread without making any comments to those people who had made the effort to sort out your problem.
Shame on you.

Do not call anyone friend; it can be offensive.

As another member, do not stipulate what to do; a rule having been broken, moderators will prescribe what should be done.

Enough on that.

Offensive --you are a fine one to talk, Retro.
I am sure you know the meaning of the word
elbaszott egy hülye gyerek vagy

The conversation I had with Mariner49er also applies to you. I thanked both of you for helping and meant no harm.
I don't wish to repeat myself; you can scroll back to find out what I asked for.

Anyway, using "elbaszott egy hülye gyerek vagy" to express your disapproval proclaims your character. At least you should've translated it into English.

Let him be guys.

One can not argue with someone who is unable to read the very simple sentence I wrote about forgetting the whole thing.

"OK, friends again"

Which means Ok, now we are friends again (in my humble opinion)

Retro,

I promise that this will be my last comment on you

You surely did not mean harm to me, but the egg is on your face for what you have done.
Reading the previous posts, what I see is that you realize what you have done and very generously thank us for our two cents. Your 'thank you' is a bit too little too late.
It is a bit like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Anyway, using "elbaszott egy hülye gyerek vagy" to express your disapproval proclaims your character.
Do you refer to that character flaw of mine according to which I do not take kindly to impertinent teenagers?
At least you should've translated it into English.
We both speak Hungarian, do we not?QUOTE]

All right!
If that was your intention of settling our differences, then
