1417714 2016-03-18 08:13:00 "Doc Martin" is running in living room and he's "sending a patient to hospital" .

Which hospital?

Doesn't a common noun require a definite article? Unless hospital is capitalized I cannot see how this is good King's Engrish . :confused:

"I'm sending the patient to Hospital" . That would be correct although if one looks for a city named "Hospital" - one will likely as not find it anywhere .

One can send someone to ChCh .

One can send someone to France .

One can send someone to Hawaii .

One can send someone to THE hospital .

One can send someone to St . Mary's Hospital .

One can send someone to Fred's Hospital .

But I don't know how one can send someone to hospital . It lacks something .

Youse guys! Always jokers!

According to the Script as to where Doc Martin is sending the patient to is here . . docmartinonline . net/the-show/locations/#" target="_blank">www . docmartinonline . net

Shouldn't that be: "Youse IS female sheep!!"


(Quickly, this massive brain of mine, full of witty repartee and a vast vault of derring-do put downs, snide remarks and outlandish punchlines, says:)

Night time's da woist, what with my neck muscles so tired from holding up my massive brain .

Being an artist, I plead artistic license (NZ= lisenze) oops... forgot the requisite "u" in there somewhere.... but I can't find a place to put it.

Similar to Glaswegian ' Youse yins' - translation 'You ones'...
