Ok. but what I was reffering to is the "But if like me" part, which at the moment I did not understand.

Thank you again, you know there are certain things that at some point one tends to overlook and after rereading you realize the real meaning.

Blind is transitive #6 (permalink) Tue Feb 15, 2005 11:49 am   Blind is transitive
 

Hi Richard,

Yes I would classify the verb blind as transitive because it usually requires an object.
