However, part of the statement is true (as opposed to the statement being partially true). <br />It's the concept of something being 'very true' that would upset me most!<br /><br />Don't you just love grammar - one can debate it for hours.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063010246424840403.post-50544194786526895952009-12-08T04:37:00.245+00:002009-12-08T04:37:00.245+00:00Right on, brutha!

I think a statement can be, for example, 'somewhat true' or 'partially true.' To take an extremely simple example, little Johnny is in school learning addition. He says '1 plus 1 is 2 and 2 plus 2 is 5.' I would say that is a partially true statement. Is this a difference between British and American English?morgannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04295309367485408358noreply@blogger.com
