[General] in company with his friends

[Silverobama]

Hi.

I wonder if I can say "He came in company with his friends" to mean "He came with his friends".

Is the italic sentence natural?

Silver, why didn't you tell us you asked a similar question in WordReference forums?

I was thinking about this. I think they're not the same context. And this sentence is much clearer than the one in WR. I am not doing this on purpose.

Piscean, would you please provide any links about telling me not to post a similar question here if I have done it elsewhere?

I was very surprised to see that you said such things, very strange. I've been told by Rover that not to ask the same question on both sides, that's why I don't block him on WR. I want him to know what questions I'm asking and he knows so well.

I'm trying to make things simpler. If you still think that I'm teasing you by asking this question, please just delete it. Is that okay and is that what you want?

It's so funny that you're frustrated, it should be me who's feeling frustrated.

I notice that you always like picking at me. No matter how hard I try to correct myself and improve my questions here.

Why not just tell me you don't like my questions and want me to stop? I can simply do that.

This thread is about 'came in company' and the other is about 'went in company'. They are so similar as to be virtually the same, and you know that we expect you to tell us if you have already received answers to similar questions elsewhere—in fact, you have already done so on earlier occasions.
