473619 2006-07-29 01:57:00 Thanks for all the suggestions. However, (sorry to disappoint you people!) I have a change of mind and decided to settle on another proverb that describes something else instead; I was doing a film review and needed a catchy proverb to complement it.

Cheers :)

Or the past pluperfect "have had" which is more correct. ;)

473622 2006-07-29 09:56:00 Or "have been had." :) mark c (247)
473623 2006-07-29 10:11:00 OK, I am really confused here. In what situation do I use "has had" or "have had"?

Cheers :)

473624 2006-07-29 10:17:00 Buy a copy of Michael Swans's "Common English Usage" as I have suggested umpteen times before or at least check it out and if you don't like it tell us why not. For struth's sake JK it's an excellent source of reference for English Language (2nd language) users. HTH..m mark c (247)

473626 2006-07-29 23:12:00 Whilst we are onto Latin, here is a little English schoolboy, Asperger Syndrome cum OCD, dry humour, James you must have come across this: Q.E.D. - quite easily done - haha - Wikipedia says this:

en.wikipedia.org

but I say: "That which was to have been shown" is actually the correct translation, because the reason that you write this acronym is that it is now your belief that you have just shown how to do whatever it is you were asked to prove.

473627 2006-07-30 05:20:00 You're getting fairly technical here, zquerty.

QED - Quod Erat Demonstrandum - was simpler when I was at school.

"That will show it" is the version I remember.

For me, I just put a hash key (#) at the end of some proving questions.
