Hi Alex
If you are 'in good with someone' that means you are in the person's good graces or the person favors you. For example, if it were my aim to be in good with the founders of this site, I would have never mentioned any of the errors in the tests. :wink:

:shock:
That's why I didn't initially answer your other question, Alex! There were two extremely pornographic posts after your question, so I figured I'd wait till a moderator finally got around to getting rid of them before I posted anything. :shock:

=> I wanted to say that you shouldn't have given this sensitive example, Amy, but thinking over it again, I assume I have no right to ;)
This site, just like the whole world of dear English, is always full of debates and different ideas, but that's the way English is, and that's one of the reasons why I love her so much ;)
Anyway, one more time, I passionately love this site as well as Alan, Amy, Jamie, Torsten, Molly and every single person here ;) ;)

And... some more two cents: nobody is perfect, right? so if there is a mistake in the tests sometimes, it's normal...

No, Nessie, nobody is perfect -- and that's why things such as English tests ought to be adequately edited before being published. :wink:

The trouble is, their designer and editor is so busy (that's why mistakes are inevitable and that's why I think we should be sympathetic) And I believe he's very thankful for your idea about those mistakes :) (So am I) ;)
