Usage of the word 'picture': The best of all pictures of my three good friends. #1 (permalink) Sat Apr 26, 2008 19:56 pm   Usage of the word 'picture': The best of all pictures of my three good friends.
 

Dear English experts,

Suppose I have some pictures of my three good friends and I want one of them to upload in my profile. Would it be correct if I say: "The best of all pictures of my three good friends."

thank you

Best wishes,

Trouper

Yes, it's an idiom derived from the world of physics. And it may serve as an example for the creative potential Irish people hold in store for the English language Smile
