Hi, at this topic especially to Conchita!

As I didn?t want to make Hercules?introduction an English vocabulary course I ask it here:

What is the meaning of: May I suggest you sart off by attacking, at your own pace, .... Shocked ?

Riddle? Thu May 25, 2006 10:48 am  Riddle?
 

Hi Michael

I'm going to stop calling you "Landlubber" and sart calling you "Mr. Eagle-Eye". Laughing Wink

If I tell you that "sart" is a typo, can you figure out what it should be?

Hi Amy,

And there was me thinking it was a near approximation of me trying to speak with an American accent for 'sort of' !

Hi Alan

My first reaction was in fact "sort of"! But then word "by" sort of killed that idea. Laughing
