What did a person with a surname, or name, have like “Mr. C’s father” (what did he do for his father’s name) say to him? If,

on the other hand, the bare fact that Jenner made the comment is of significance, then use the past tense.

Are Kipling, Conrad, and Lawrence dead, so their different views of life are still in the past tense?

An adverb or adverb phrase, though it may modify an entire clause just as an absolute phrase does, fails to fulfill a basic criterion for that construction: ungrammatically all adverb is a subject.

The analogous construction, however, is the sentence adverb, a disjunct which takes the reader outside the argument of the sentence and expresses a resultant attitude or opinion. As the name implies, a sentence adverb does not attach grammatically to a verb but, as an absolute phrase, to an entire clause.

Also, adverbs also need not be phrase, but for the sake of illustration, here are a few examples. Unfortunately

for researchers, people under the age of 65 have no identifiers other than their Social Security numbers and have no population-wide insurance system that could (like Medicare) be used to track medical events over time. — Tools For Evaluating Health Technologies, 2004.

Since gracefully describes the manner in which an action is performed rather than express an authorial comment, it is difficult to imagine its use as a sentence adverb even in the same construction:

Nandini had made up her mind to go with them, had even changed into outdoor clothes, but she had backed out, gracefully enough, without rancour. Ambika Sirkar, No Crystal Stair, 2011, 56. (Rp. Opinion)

Despite the parentheses and the adverb + enough phrase, gracefully enough still expresses the manner in which Nandini backed out, i.e. when he realized that the problem was more complex. , it still modifies the verb, not the clause, as, say, surprisingly enough, which would be a comment on her behavior and personality, not how she backed out of a planned engagement.

What is pint pot?

In 1946 George Orwell published an essay in the Evening Standard describing his ideal pub:

The special pleasure of this lunch is that you can have draught stout with it. Why are there so many London breweries serving stout to their customers? Is it hard to get stout in a blender?
The Moon Under Water is full of drinking vessels. They are particularly careful about their drinking vessels at the Moon Under Water, and never, for example, make the mistake of serving a pint of beer in a handleless glass. Apart from glass and pewter mugs, they have some of those pleasant strawberry-pink china ones which are now rare in London. In China, beer mugs went out about 30 years ago, because most people like their drink to be transparent, but in my opinion, beer tastes better out of China. In Orwell: Moon Under Water (April, 1949), The Greatest American Projection to Seize The World, p. 143.

A strawberry pink mug is not quite as bad as it sounds, and while perhaps not in Orwell’s London local, elsewhere similar mugs were still fairly common into the 1950s.

How did Edward Orwell

use the pot to describe the pot (or vessel) in the paintings of Malachite. He never used the pantomime in the work he occupied. If the guru in the skeptics also refers to paver, pewter, and china mugs, then one suspects that for him, mug is a generic term, but only one made of pewter merits being called a pot.

When Orwell’s essay was published, along with straight-sided conical glasses, there were two types of glass mugs vying for favor: a ten-sided “lantern” mug from 1928 and the dimpled one, whose popularity eventually supplanted the earlier design, now advertized by one vendor as a ” forgotten British classic ” When

the

last English manufacturer of the dimpled (AmE thumbprint) glass mug, Ravenhead Glass, St Helens, Merseyside, closed in March 2001, it was regarded in some circles, such as this article in The Independent, as the disappearance of something quintessentially British from its native soil. How did Orwell use pewter mugs for music?

The French concern Arcoroc, however, offers this mug, named, appropriately enough, ” Britannia,” and a 2014 BBC News Magazine article notes that the dimpled mug being returned to London and “not just to traditional pubs in the north and Scotland,” where they apparently remained in use longer than in the south.

A wedding planning service that includes all postal codes with M (Manchester) in its “in area” offers this tulip beer glass to

visitors. A straight-sided glass mug with a handle and similar decoration is called a tankard. So if a “lager glass” in York is a pint pot for prawns and a tulip beer glass is a pint pot in Manchester, a certain Northern pattern is emerging of a more expansive usage of the term.

Across the British Isles, now, certain vessels are or were pint pots while others are or were called something else. Innovation in material and design initiated a chain of transfer from pewter to china, then to glass, and finally to plastic, but not for every UK speaker. Today’s china pint pot may become today’s generic mug to distinguish it from whatever vessel the speaker now considers a pint pot, or “china” may sufficiently distinguish them. What is pint pot?

In other vocabulary, the real question is to what degree pint pot functions as a hypernym, that is, how many different kinds of pint pots there are for an individual speaker or whether only one or two vessels of particular shape and material are worthy of the name?

For me to answer fully, at the very least a full online poll would require that at the very least an online poll with photographs, asked British and Irish people to identify birthplace or longtime residence and what each vessel is called, then map it out. The more scientific method, would mean fieldwork, a transnational pub crawl, chatting up the patrons, and staying sober enough to record the results. Considering the attractiveness of such a project, I’m surprised it hasn’t been undertaken yet. I am sure I will be satisfied.

Other Uses, Other Grammar

One of the most familiar modern usages, offering, suggesting, or requesting food or drink — How about a cup of tea — appears by the mid-1850s. Can this use be easily connected to Fenimore Cooper’s buckboard, but not to the original phrase. I’m not very selfish My friend, Can stew up a clam

or similar shell-fish, How about a crab or both? — New York Clipper, 27 Sept. 1856.

Johnny, love, wouldn’t you like a little of that nice Sago? ” You shut your mouth and turned over mournfully. Mother questioned, “How about a roasted apple?” ” The Elevator 9/1, 12 Apr. 1873. The Elevator 7/3, 19 Apr. 1873’s.

What is your vote for Mr. Warwick’s sacrament? The Republican papers say, you know, he is an Orangeman. The Stark County Democrat, 5 Sept. 1883.

This construction can take on the force of a softened imperative as well as a request:

John S Ryan. How is Ms. McFerrin’s relationship with your brother? When did you get our Philadelphia game tickets? — Chess, to Correspondents, New York Clipper, 20 Dec. 1883.

Floyd, how about you getting a piece of deer meat for the lady, seeing she’s been cheated of her supper? — Edna Ferber, Cimarron, 1930. How

Clausal Complement

In the 18th c. When a dependent clause triggers a return to the original subject of the phrase, correct?

— New York Clipper 13 June 1859.

In the 20th c. What looks like an independent clause begins to follow what about?

He said in silence.. “He came back… the Lord had to be mad at him to kill him.” Nanninga I can’t get any insurance on that barge. ” I said to my wife , Why don’t I take anything kindly on anything? send that barge out. Why don’t I, sir)? ” — Direct Examination of Henry Naninga (filed, 22 Oct., 69). ” 1913, Savannah GA), Naninga v. T&E Inc. Quernsmore, Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, 1917.

Without the how about, the only difference between the first and second clause is the expressed subject: both are imperatives, but how about softens them to requests or suggestions. Unlike imperatives, the construction how about +clause can be used with all three persons:

Umanski. How do you go downstairs and study English grammar? — Channing Pollock, The Fool (play), 1922.

Is he “Spoilers”? Possibly “OK”, he suggested. How do I teach my boys at Butte? Norman Macleod, The Bitter Roots was released in 1941.

Jack: No, he laughs. Is there an impasse in today’s world? Jack and Manny exchange hostile glances.)

What are some tips on self help? — “One of those days,” Australia Women’s Weekly, 26 Nov. 1975. 143 in English. Read more at Oxford University.

Whether this form is more assertive than, say, a participle probably depends more on the appearance of the voice and tone of voice than grammatical format. How about stopping that right now and How about you stop that right now are marginally softer than the imperative, but the difference between the two how-abouts seems tiny to me.

A participle also explains why your sentence How about the speaker breaks sounds unidiomatic unless you’re suggesting a plot point in a sitcom. If you change the action to event: How about the speaker breaking, then all is well.

Present Sunjunctive

In its request/suggest mode, how about can also trigger the present subjunctive. Given that verbs such as ask, propose, request, recommend, or suggest traditionally require verb form, it’s hardly surprising that a what about clause could do the same. It would be highly unusual to call any clause with a verb in the present subjunctive independent. This is a standard case for a verb which is not called “subjunctive independent.”

How about I be a maiden in distress and you rescue me? Don Del Grande, Life of Monty 38, 6 Feb. 1984.

“Quotative” how about

How’s about

An earlier question on this website notes that the Dictionary of American Slang dates even more informal how’s about to circa 1925. It is obviously too late for it to be an alternative abbreviation of how is it about, and it is highly unlikely that it derives from the Irish greeting _how’s about ye, which abbreviates itself as..

In Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (1994), Carl Pollard and Ivan A. Sag suggest that in contrast to how about, how’s may only be used to make requests (www.puppetmation.com)

The extra s was popular in the 1930s and 40s. This is not saying they were not popular a minute or two earlier. The Library of Congress copyright catalogue for musical compositions includes this tune from 1933 :

How’s about it; with ukulele arr. Apr. How is the English pub, e pub., 23 November 1933? 36069; Schellman Clay & Co. 7778

How’s About It is also the title of a 1941 movie starring the Andrews Sisters, Buddy Rich, and Shemp Howard, one of the original Three Stooges. What are the names of some of the Ukuleles that have been made in the last 400 years?

A three-hour self-help course from the Better-Speech Institute of America has this example of boorish behavior.

Added additional s means meaningless, the spelling an analog of how’s, abbreviation of how is/has. What are some examples of slang bebes?

The

use of how about as an alternative to what about has changed from the now obsolete how is it about. But how about was historically a truncated form of what about. In Britain and America, how about appeared almost simutaneously in the mid – to late 1820s. With words or expression only limited to the spoken language, court records and other recorded speech are the only means of knowing of their existence. Possibly this spontaneous appearance tells us more about the maturity of the early 19th c. Press to record the speech of common people than the age of how about.

Though still with a great deal of semantic overlap, if native speakers want a stronger contrast in the sense of “wait, you aren’t considering this” or “what about this you don’t want to talk about” native speakers tend to use what about. If those early 19th c. it still existed. When hecklers would call it like they’re rioting, “What about the 20 million?” or “What about the 20 million” than the original where.

Beginning with simple noun phrases, how about began to head participial phrases with subjects, clauses with a present subjunctive verb, and in its “quotative” function, an independent clause. It can soften imperatives and include all three persons in singular or plural. How do I politely offer someone new something to eat?

How about is most remarkable feature of the present subjunctive, not in terms of its meaning — I suggest, request, propose this or that — but because how about is an interrogative, not a verb. According to a search I could find no corresponding constructions using What about. Despite broad similarities in use, I could find no corresponding constructions using what about. What makes How about unique in present day English?
