Hi AOM

Any of the above is fine but Coffee if you are making one. ;)

Why isn't beer on there. Oooh, or a nice red wine after dinner? That's my favorite.

Of course everyone drinks water (otherwise they'd die!). But the topic title is Whats your Favourite Drink.

I have yet to meet anyone that drinks water and goes "Hmmmm! this is so my favourite drink".

Or thats my interpretation anyway.

Chris · #8 (**permalink**) 10-23-2006, 05:06 PM

i actually prefer water over soft drinks, except when i'm eating and the kid in me has had a coca-cola obsession in the past.

but on a day-to-day drink basis (and i'm not talking about alcholic beverages), then water is actually my choice.

Fair enough.

Black and 1 sugar. Stirred anti-clockwise, but I am not fussy. ;)

*off topic*

'Anti-clockwise' is sooo much cooler than our American equivalent 'counter clockwise'.

I felt eerily compelled to share that with everybody.

--and technically, it would be 'you and me' not 'you and I' in that case, Chris.

Chris · #14 (**permalink**) 10-24-2006, 03:27 PM

does that mean the singular answer to "Do people not drink water anymore" would be "me do" (i was thinking in the terms of you do and i do or the singluar i do)?

Now you're just getting picky.

And thanks Mike. I was gonna put counter-clockwise then I thought "stick to what I know". :D

Actually, Chris, in this instance, Mike is completely correct. If Muncy was not included in this sentence, and it was structured in the same format, you would naturally say "evidently, it's just me," and not "evidently, it's just i."

In sentences where, given the same format, you would say "me" when just speaking about yourself, you'd say "you and me," and where you'd say "I," you'd say "you and I."

jmiller · #17 (**permalink**) 10-25-2006, 09:20 AM

Jim, I don't know on what you are basing your argument, just to be correct in my own grammar by not ending the sentence with a preposition.

Comprehension of preposition use, by the way, seems to have escaped speakers of the world's greatest language.

The word "just" in this instance is used as an adjective. Sometimes "just" can be an adverb. It is never, however, a preposition.

The only thing that would require changes of those pronouns from subject to object would be a preposition. It is from hence comes the phrase "object of the preposition." And then typically you would name the preposition after, i.e., "object of the preposition 'between.'"

But adjectives don't carry that rule. Phrases that begin with "It is" indicate that the forthcoming nouns or pronouns are reflexive, that is, they refer to the subject of the sentence. Therefore, if you omitted the word "just" and the plurality of the reflexive subjects from this sentence, the sentence simply reads "It is I," or "It is you." Adding the adjective "just" does not change the basic grammar.

Where Chris erred was use of the singular pronoun "it" rather than a plural pronoun like "they" or "we."

But usage would vindicate Chris in that instance as nobody really says "They are you and I."

So there.

well, i didn't expect this from a 6 word answer. i does not like the grammER....

For breakfast Gin, Vodka or a Scotch and Soda - Mid Day 7 pints of Ruddles Bitter, must not over do it, as I have moderating to do. Lunch 4 bottles of claret, never any more - it plays havoc with the gout.
Mid Afternoon is Champagne time -One Magnum only -One must think of ones figure.
Tea Time - One cup of Tea with Brandy in it, just to perk it up. Short nap -then down to the serious part of the day. Fillet Steak and a nice Bordeaux Red - say six bottles between the two of us . Good Napoleon Brandies to follow. Then serious excercise - collect empties and throw into next doors backyard. Fax through replacement booze order for the following day. And as a Moderator, everything in Moderation. Goodnight hic

Milk for breakfest. Breakfest without milk is no breakfest.
Coffee after breakfest.
Spanish Faustion I red wine for a beef dinner.
Riesling White wine for sea food.
Beer on an outdoor restaurant in a hot summer.
Cold water from a fall when on holiday in tent in the mountains.
A cognac after a good meal and with coffee.
Bluerberry and (tomato juice in youghurt) for my health.
Spain, I love all your juices.
Tea, OK, but I am not an Englishman and they destroy it with milk. I only use lemon and sugar in my tea. I hear you Englishman, Kgun you are from Norway and know nothing about a real cup of tea :-) I totally agree.

Conclusion: My preferred drink depends on the circumstances. Milk for a beef meal???

If I have to choose one:
Coffee on clean water from a fall in the mountain in a late summer evening around a small fire.

Bloody Heck Kgell -White Wine followed by Red Wine followed by beer - I thought I had problems.
