A row questions About Expression.

Sometimes one even hears tho phrase:
"Do you feel like beefsteaksn How, pray,
does beefsteak feeli Why should we use
"ever so much" for livery much," or de
scribe man as perfectly IovelyP"
In English, the abverb quite" means
entirely" completely" but when VIC
say that some one is quite well" we mean
not that he is perfectly but only tolerably
well. We even see in America the phrase
quite a number of persons" as if one
number was not as much of q number as
another. We talk Of ''prominentn citi
zen, intending to describe him not as pro
tuberant, but simply as eminent. Then
again, we ask a friend to "come round'
tomorrow, though he may have only to
come straight across the street. We saw
you are hereby notified" instead Of: at
is hereby notified to you" "and we speak OF
fact "transpiring," as IL fact were Ell.
dowed with an apparatus for breathing.
Why do we deem il elegant to say that O
thing was "intimated," when we mean
that it was saida And why do we think ii
sounds fine to speak Of thing being "def-
initely arranged" when we mean that il
was definitely or finally settled2 The answer
to most Of these questions Is obviously that
such mistakes are made by persons who dc
not remember or who have not reflected on
the etymology of the words mentioned

true meaning and right use.-New York
