Hi Alan,
Is "is was" incorrect in your sentence? Would you please explain?
Thank you very much

No, it should be: I should have thought it was.

Thanks

No, that sentence simply had two typos in it originally, but only one of the typos has been repaired.

How about it, Alan and Torsten? Can we get the word 'is' changed to 'it' in that sentence?

Shouldn't it be: You should have thought it was pretty obvious.? - if it is the answer to the quesion:
Excuse me interrupting but what are you doing?

Many thanks!!!
