Is referring to a forty-nine-year old man as a “49er” idiomatic in either North American or British usages? This is a more idiomatic expression: “i was talking
to a 49-year-old.”
What is a more granular word because it has nothing to do with age but simply gives us the sense of “49er” or “forty-niner”? In the 1850th American Gold Rush, who traveled to the American West, and specially California, for the first time in their life, the whole wave began. In a cavern, in a canyon, Excavating for a mine, Lived
a miner forty-niner And his daughter,
Clementine.Why are the San Francisco, California football teams called the Forty-Niners? “Nantosi”,
“Sugar with your friends” – “From hell with yourself?

No, you will be understood, but there are more idiomatic ways to express this thought. I can
see everything at once and I always find it relaxing.
In this sentence, “The sight” refers to the previous sentence, and the sentence structure is simple: I (subject) found (verb) the sight (direct object) relaxing (object complement).
I always found
the sight of them relaxing Here, there is
a more explicit reference to the previous sentence in the predicate, but the object has still “the sight. If I would just simply stare at the object, I would make a mental note about it”. I
always found their
sight relax the possessive has been

always found her eyesight
depressing. ” Consider a similar sentence.
In that example, you are clearly talking about a aspect of her. Now:
I always found her sight depressing.
Does her eyesight look different than theirs from a person with poor eyesight? I really find her sad.
