peer agreement (net): +1انتهينا منه/ واضح وجلي Explanation: http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/cutanddry.html Many people mishear the standard expression meaning “set,” “not open to change,” as “cut and dry.” Although this form is listed in the Oxford English Dictionary, it is definitely less common in sophisticated writing. The dominant modern usage is “cut and dried.” When used to modify a noun, it must be hyphenated: “cut-and-dried plan.” http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/cut-and-dried cut-and-dried 1. if a decision or agreement is cut-and-dried, it is final and will not be changed Although a deal has been agreed, it is not yet cut-and-dried. 2. if a subject, situation, or idea is cut-and-dried, it is clear and easy to understand The human rights issue is by no means cut-and-dried. |
