What else? What post are you talking about? What case is in point?

"A lotta post."

In the Midwest, when we had a thunderstorm, we would say "It will long rain over us". :lol:

 

[mawes12]

Did they say "long to rain over us"? I really never heard that adverb be used with an infinitive.

I think 'long (adverb) + to-infinitive + object' is an imperative sentence expressing a wish, but I am not a teacher.

 

[mawes12]

What I was trying to say is that I never seen long as an adverb used with an infinitive but I did see long as a verb used with an infinitive.

Well, now you have seen 'long' as an adverb used with an infinitive.

This thread has run its course. I'm closing it.
