Also, I think, in this case, it needs the addition of "with" to make it correct, as in "I recently was gifted with a clean, shiny..." That said, wouldn't, "I was recently given a clean, shiny..." sound so much better? It's like using architect as a verb. It makes my insides shudder.<br /><br />Sorry I'm vehement and ridiculous.

You know what? You ...I voted for the $2/day option. You know what? You deserve that shit. You work hard, and you've got to pack soon and you're probably in finals. Besides, do the words "full fellowship at Michigan" ring any bells? <br /><br />Also, I'm going to defend your choice in using "was gifted" because according to my Oxford American Dictionary that is actually correct and the verb can be used both actively and passively. Unless there is something I'm missing? Anyway, it seems correct to me.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02163454889133519781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395481540682768025.post-9871466431849217752009-05-07T16:57:00.000+03:002009-05-07T16:57:00.000+03:00You were GIFTED?
