Ya know, that song seems kinda strange on reflection Isaac - 16/12/2011 08:27:14 PM 485 Views
Yeah, they do interpret it rather strangely there... but I guess grammatically it makes sense. Legolas - 16/12/2011 11:16:56 PM 375 Views
I have always considered it ambiguous, personally. Joel - 17/12/2011 01:34:46 PM 428 Views
