No No Yes!! Hmmm... Well... sort of, but not quite. While a team is a collective, it's a very specific usage, i.e. 'working' rather than just several of them. I'll give half a point for it though. Quote:
... is a hunter's delight! That's one more point for you! One point for a bed of eels. The other two were already taken. Stitchawl |
