Fancy reading your message early in the morning. Correct?

Hi teachers,

1) Fancy reading your message early in the morning. Correct?

2) A dead person can't be resurrected in this world. Correct?

Many thanks in advance.

1-- No one I know uses 'fancy' (V) except in the set phrase, 'Fancy that!'
2-- 'In the world' is redundant and should be omitted.

1 - Perhaps it's out of fashion in the uUS, but as a verb it's still going strong in this part of the UK.

Sometimes it has the same meaning as 'fancy that' but with a statement instead of that, just as Untaught has used it:

Fancy coming this far from home then meeting you! It's a small world.
Well, fancy seeing you here!

It's is also used more widely:

Do you fancy going to the cinema tomorrow?
What do you fancy doing this weekend?
I fancy she has put on weight.
I fancy having pasta this evening.
Do you see anything you fancy?

Oh, I use this one, too: 'Do you see anything you fancy?'
