Struck a chord, eh? Those must have been your dirty-fingernailed
hands.

Might you mean "Struck a nerve"?


Nope. Meant what I said. When you learn a bit more about idiomatic
constructs, THEN you can undertake to correct someone. In the
meantime, look up the phrase "struck a chord" on Google. You just may
be enlightened.

So you wanted to elicit an emotional response in Radioman? One done in
a positive vein, as is typical of "striking a chord" with someone,
instead of an irritating emotional response as in "striking a nerve", is
it? Oddly enough, most of your posts don't seem calculated to elicit a
positive response.

Pity a smart fella like you has to argue with a dullard such as myself.
Better get back to the Mensa folk, who *might* be qualified to talk wit'
ya if they acts nice 'n don't get too uppity.
