ReplyDeleteI think the anno us
I= i
50= L
Loss= Red( we use the expression, the company is in Red, meaning expenses are more than income, hence Loss.)
Am i in the rt track ?
There is a slihht Ardenism, if you can get it.
DeleteI am sorry. I couldn't get it.(-
DeleteRilied is the word printed and i goes as per the anno.But to my pea brain, i couldn't find the word RILIED..
DeleteArdenism- 150= IL
DeleteR(IL)ED - with being containment indicator. Am I right? Red=Loss
I thought the same too.
DeleteTo be read as ( I call it prose order!) "Loss with 150".
DeleteLoss of 150 is same as 150 in red.
Deleteyes,simpler.
DeleteIf you look at accounts ledger loss is written in red (ink)!
DeleteI also felt the same anno. But there is no containment indicator
ReplyDelete22A- Why 'It' is included- only for srface?
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly an easy fare from Arden for a change. Every bit enjoyable all the same.
ReplyDelete14A is there a purpose for the dots after dash?
