Bottom line I saw nothing when I posted yesterday. Today, there were quite a few posts from other colleagues and your post just came up 37 minutes ago. Mysterious chronology ?!I tried to be compromising but you didn't appreciate my effort to reach out.
there was a chronological inconsistency, then you have my apologies. Also, all the contributions are valuable since we are here to help our colleagues. I reacted or maybe over reacted when I saw a post one day later after so many postings.
It means that is indeed my own mistake. I will withdraw my answer... I have no desire to have any further contributions in this climate. Thanks for the eye-opener! Still, perhaps, for the future, you'd like to give some thought to how the counter works. (Don't you find it at all strange that it was "37 minutes ago" at 17:09 and also "37 minutes ago" at 17:29?)
Sorry for what ? We started the discussion yesterday, you posted 37 minutes ago. That's the point I wanted to make and I don't want to pursue any discussion any further. "Streak/silver" were already from the very first entry and I don't see the vastly different version in your answer.
Well, that's strange, is it not... you throw in an offensive remark, out of the blue, and then you say "never mind"? Would it be so hard to say "I'm sorry, my mistake"? Please also note that your version is a far cry from mine - I hope that you are not implying that I picked up yours.
I posted the answer 37 minutes after the question was asked (fyi, that's what's normally recorded), yesterday, that is, and this discussion dates from today... Please be just a little more careful before jumping to not very flattering assumptions...
What part exactly of my contribution is not visible? If you mean that my suggestions were given by somebody else first, I suggest you check the chronology (or the day, actually).
I would say "her was streaked with silvery-gray". But doesn't the text only make reference to "silver"? In this case I would say "her hair was streaked with silver", which sounds more compact, to the point, and subtle.

I think silver-like sounds a bit clumsy if I may say so. However a common way to say this in English would be "silvery-gray hair". However, wouldn't that omit the idea of streaks?

Could you explain a bit more about this person. There are two suggestions, both which describe different people: "highlights" refer to bleach blond hair, "silver streaks" would usually describe somebody who was almost grey haired and had already acquired portions of ageing, graying hair due to their age.
