The other night in bed my husband and I had another disagreement on how you say something.  Here’s how it went… <\/p>\n

\n

Hubby: Oh man last night I slept so …. fast!<\/p>\n

Me: How do you sleep fast?  You mean the time went by quick?<\/p>\n

Hubby: No, like I slept like a rock!<\/p>\n

Me: Oh, you mean deeply!<\/p>\n

Hubby: Yeah!<\/p>\n

Me: Well why did you say fast then?  People don’t sleep fast or slow…<\/p>\n

Hubby:  Yeah they do, why do you think they say ‘Fast Asleep’.<\/p>\n

Me:  That’s just a saying, you can’t turn it around to say you slept fast.<\/p>\n

Hubby:  I’m sure you can!<\/p>\n

Me: No you can’t!<\/p>\n

Hubby: Yeah, I really think you can.<\/p>\n

Me: This is going on my blog.<\/p>\n

Hubby: Bah!<\/p>\n

Me: Who’s the English… Which, I mean, I’m the native.. I speak … I’m the English speaker!!<\/p>\n

Hubby: HA! I hope you’re putting that on your blog too! *mimics my stuttering*<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So now, regardless of my stammering and my English failing me in that last sentence, I still think I’m right!!   Nobody says they slept FAST<\/em><\/strong>!!  Who says that?  That’s not how it works! Argh!  <\/p>\n

So what do you think?  Do you think you can say ‘I slept fast’? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
