I see. It is like a bonus because we seldom come across such expressions in our textbook. Very interesting.

Could you please tell me if there something more between the posts of Mike and you? In other words, does ' Of course' implies anything?

No; it simply would be an arrogant and unacceptable answer.

Hi, jiang,

I read your articles too. You always bring up good questions that make me stop to think. I want to say thank you to you.



To Mike, TDOL, RonBee:
How nice of you to answer our STRANGE questions. IMO, if you are not teachers, it's hard to ask a native speaker to explain rules because they just use English in a natural way. For me, the logic is the most profound to get it. Through your explanation, I need to learn to FEEL English. And thank you for providing us with such a fantastic website.

You always make my day as well.
(hehehe...actually i don't know the exact meaning of this idiom, but i know when to use it. I'll appreciate it if you can explain a bit.)
