Do you think it's the same with " She wasn't cut out for ... "? _________________ On earth there is nothing great but man, in man there is nothing great but mind. |

If that is half of an IF-sentence, it might help to know the rest of the sentence (or the broader context). Otherwise, I can only say that, as a stand-alone sentence, the use of weren't isn't standard, and the intended meaning is a mystery to me. :? . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |
