[QUOTE] It got the word 'ruddy' wrong and the essence of what a bachelor is - is wrong.[/QUOTE]distraction; red herring [QUOTE] [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. [/QUOTE]How come is an abbreviation of How did it come about. How come developed over time into an idiom, an informal one at that. This is not difficult to comprehend. [QUOTE] [i]How Come [/i] is never an idiom.[/QUOTE]You are stubborn and foolish. You say it is not an idiom, the experts say otherwise. Yet, instead of deferring to them, you allow your pride to cloud your judgment. [QUOTE] If 'how come' was grammatically correct it just would be a direct complete formal sentence, not an idiom not an expression. [/QUOTE]Are you fucking serious? do you even know how and when grammar rules developed in the English? You are fucking dumb for making that absurd statement. 'How come' is attested BEFORE a cohesive and uniform syntax developed in the English, MORON! IT IS A FIXED EXPRESSION!, GET IT?!?! it has no compositionality in its structure!!!!!!! It ain't a sentence in the traditional sense!!!!!! [/QB][/QUOTE]
