I was working in a gift shop in Hawaii and there was an art piece of three metal dolphins hanging on the wall behind the register. Two elderly ladies come in and one says, “That’s a beautiful piece. Can you hang it on a wall?” Rather dumbfounded I replied, “Well….um…it is now…so ya”. That has to be the dumbest question I’ve ever been asked. Close second, and I surprisingly got this a fair amount, someone from the Mainland asking if we take American money. I had to inform them that we are a state in the USA, so yes, we do take American money.
My High School English teacher taught us it’s incorrect to start a paragraph with the word “it”. Yet everybody seems to do it. Must not be as big a no-no as he made it out to be.
The short answer is……no.
