no stuff sherlock, that's why i wrote those examples - using the same grammar as the expressions in the OP
--- Quote from: St. Francis Xavier on January 14, 2018, 03:32:19 PM ---People do say however, "To add insult to injury, i think that..." which is correct grammatically as well as "It's a far cry from x...". The phrases in the OP aren't meant to be said independently except for "welcome home", "never mind" and "go to bed" (which are not incorrect at all)
