No1 is risen!

Hmm . . . did you ever consider that "come" in this case might be a predicate nominative?

A return from self-imposed exile is hardly a good analogy with an execution by the authorities.

Now if IRONMAN came back to the forums, that would be a good trick!

It's not, because predicate nominatives are nouns.

Oh, I see what you mean now. No, I never considered that.

Yes, the very famous Mr. Escher ...... you are becoming a man of fine arts and culture, Dear Doctor.

Well the fundies always say, "He is risen." I guess risen is the predicate adjective of He rather than the past participle of "to rise."

On second thought, when have fundies ever been known to use sound grammar?

..... beats me ...

That's right. I'm taking your advice, trying to broaden my horizons and get my mind around the fact that not everybody is American. I thought I'd start with somebody from your country. What are some other countries that I should be aware of?

If I where you I would start with the very small ones, like Liechtenstein or better still Monaco. The latter will fit your taste and status, Dear Doctor ...... lots of glamour and expensive cars .... dig ?

Those are real places? I thought they were just fantasy lands, like Oz.
