by markvanroode 10 months, 2 weeks agoGreat alternative, put it up there and I will upvote it.
by Merlin57 10 months, 2 weeks agoPerhaps, we would say here: 'I rowed with such force'.
by markvanroode 10 months, 2 weeks agoOh, interessant! 'set to' - to begin actively and earnestly. Perhaps it is not used so much in American English?
by Merlin57 10 months, 2 weeks agoBtw, the expression 'set to' sounds strange to my ears.
by markvanroode 10 months, 2 weeks agoThanks, Wendy.
