[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 6904608, member: 6801286"] Technically a vase could fall completely silently. But that was not what the example was about. The example was about 'a noise'. Not specifically a loud noise, not specifically a soft noise, but something audible. Yes, to me it does as well. But the way it is phrased does not suggest that the noise has to be as loud as breaking pottery. It's just 'a noise'. It could be of any loudness. The vase is but an example. Gee, I wonder where he gets THAT idea(!) Could it be because of... Or perhaps because of: Or because of: It's not just the replies themselves which seem antagonistic and unfriendly. But the way they are phrased also comes across as not very pleasant. I could see how that may be viewed as if you are deliberately misunderstanding what he's saying. Especially that first one, sheesh! [/QUOTE]
