Please what is the meaning of this if some has told you: “Be gentle with the earth”
2. He always think what he thought is right. Is it correct?. Please if you have other way of saying it please let me know. Thanks
“Be gentle with the earth” appears to be a message about taking care of the environment. More context would help.
It should be “He always thinks…”, but the sentence construction you are attempting seems kind of convoluted. I’m wondering if you actually mean something simpler like “He always thinks he is right”.
Be gentle with the earth = treat the earth’s resources carefully.
He always thinks what he thought is right. = He always believes he is right.
Please don’t send the same message twice. I’ve deleted the duplicate.
Ebenezer, you usually seem to post your questions multiple times. I don’t know how you are doing this, but please try not to. Just click the “Send message” button once.
Dozy and Beeesneees I suspect there has been a problem on my machine, and I cannot imagine even why sometimes my posts use to come in multiples, but I will have it checked, please forgive me. Okey thats by the way, but wanted to know if what I posted could be right to use or not. As in He always thinks…correct. Thanks
Please see my reponse in message #2.
I think you may have gone French in the wee small hours!
Hi Alan,
Just curious: is it a reference to the word “reponse” (which is I assume the French for “response”)?
Exactement! Plus of course the 3.52 am time stamp.
Alan
You make typos too, you know.
Oh, come on it was only meant to be a joke. Oh dear!
Jokes wear thin when someone keeps on going on about them.
I don’t suppose it has ever crossed your mind to think there may be more of a reason for them than just carelessness.
What exactly do mean by your second sentence? What has never crossed my mind?

‘Some jokes are expensive’. Are they the same? Just to be curiuos.
No. I don’t understand what you are getting at when you say ‘some jokes are expensive’, but if something is said to ‘wear thin’ it means it is over-used and people are tired of it.
