I can’t guess, I’ve never looked into this funny expression. The elliptic formula is not perfect. Even the small print will ruin your calculations. I guess that fellow
- weighs at least four pounds. Is it true he’s lacking an ounce or two?
I am completely wrong. I am curious what natives
would say in an interview.

When you have to write a lot of letters and dates on typewriters as Secretaries have to do you quickly invent a kind of shorthand notation by dropping self-evident things simply because writing or typing is work.

Asked on December 20, 2021 in American english.
How can one use a simplex verb to vote? Beside the vast number of simplex verbs there is another vast number of compound verbs and still another vast number for which there is no standard name but a lot of names.
Beside a simplex verb to vote verifies the verbal expression to cast one’s vote meaning to put one’s ballot into a box. What’s the difference between to vote and to cast a vote? The verbal expression consisting of the noun from to vote and a general verb is just a variant. But it must have the same structure as the verb example used above (in English).
In any language there are a great number of verbal expressions. What are some examples in English: to announce, to make an announcement, to pay attention to someone/something, to draw attention to something, to bear/keep something in mind, to have a break, to call for
a break Just as you can fill a dictionary with compound verbs can fill a dictionary with verbal expressions. It is an important class of verbs as many ideas are best expressed with such verbals.

I don’t understand what is the difference between BrE and AmE. Can we use thatclause with should or present sv (subjunctive), but one can say that sv is very common in elevated style?
After verbs of volition BrE can use that clause with should or present tense/Present s.v. But in BrE the subjunctive is rare.
I have used the term “verbs of volition” for verbs expressing proposals, suggestions, requests and
orders.
