ianr Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 > Ground for outdoors, floor for indoors...Just so, though you can have, for example "forest floor". I think it depends on there being some kind of ceiling or roof, as there is in forests. Or would just walls do too?[ETA] OTOH, if you were alone in the forest and inadvertently dropped your peanut butter sandwich, it's probably the ground it's going to end up on.

Nigello Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 The absence of the final "ed/d" in words that have, until about four or so years ago, very definitely had them.

BrandNewGuy Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 From another thread: ?be on the right side of history?. Urgh! It's as if we're all inevitably on some lovely upward path to enlightenment. A fatuous reading of history, morality and 'progress'.
