Hi, Dallas! Recently you wrote in a message to Anton Shepelev:
AK> If I talk about myself, can I say: "I drained Jim
AK> everything I knew about his wife's love affair." ;-)
DH> You can -- I wouldn't -- it's not wrong,
DH> just....unusual!
AS> I am sure it is wrong without an "of" before "everything."
DH> Definitely wrong. My original had the "of"; your quote
DH> above seems to have omitted it.
In Alexander's message, as we received it here, the "of" was left
out. I figure Anton quoted Alexander's words correctly as he saw them. :-Q
