[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bettyboo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by facts: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Bettyboo: 'How come' isn't an idiom? So these sites have it wrong but you have it right? 'How did it come' is not the idiom. It is the phrase from which the abbreviation 'how come' developed and eventually had come to be an idiom. [/qb][/QUOTE]1. No. 'How come' isn't an idiom. 2. Yes. The sites have it wrong and I have it right. What make you think something is correct just because it's on the internet or pulled from an online dictionary. It got the word 'ruddy' wrong and the essence of what a bachelor is - is wrong. Pulling sites or flocking to the internet doesn't make something true or right. 3. I didn't say 'How did it come'. I know "How did it come" isn't an idiom nor is "How did it come about". [i]How come[/i] isn't an abbreviation. One minute it's informal speech the next minute it's an idiom and the next minute it's an abbreviation. 4. [i]How Come [/i] is never an idiom. If 'how come' was grammatically correct it just would be a direct complete formal sentence, not an idiom not an expression. [/QB][/QUOTE]
