How to use "speaking of which"? Fri Apr 20, 2007 12:52 pm  How to use "speaking of which"?
 

Hi everyone!

This is my second post of today! So..please pardon me for my over-curiosity about English.. Laughing

Might I ask for 1) the meaning of "speaking of which? , and 2) in what context/situation it can be used? (a sentence example will be very much appreciated)

Thank you very much (:
