One is what's wrong, and <br />the other is the well-known what's happening.<br />Another relation given is: something's "up" with him/ something's "wrong" with him.<br />Does it work now?<br />Aakash Sridharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857485101313290643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-62420496137667955182016-07-19T19:34:49.207+05:302016-07-19T19:34:49.207+05:30Don't think that will work AakashDon't think that will work AakashCol_Gopinathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166793743790376031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-45441862882840945672016-07-19T16:21:35.236+05:302016-07-19T16:21:35.236+05:30Subject to correction, I was thinking that it mean...Subject to correction, I was thinking that it meant 'What's happening?'Padmanabhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278629397479779173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-45860264259280873932016-07-19T16:14:51.250+05:302016-07-19T16:14:51.250+05:30Intended this in the sense of what's 'up&#...Intended this in the sense of what's 'up'/what's 'wrong'Aakash Sridharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857485101313290643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-1726585780913749372016-07-19T15:33:42.889+05:302016-07-19T15:33:42.889+05:30As per Chambers a stadium is ' a race course o...As per Chambers a stadium is ' a race course or sports ground' and Pitch is ' a place set apart for playing or practising a game.Deepak Gopinathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337043600355573557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-39410020471063791972016-07-19T14:09:53.003+05:302016-07-19T14:09:53.003+05:30Off track- about texting (read today)
