I can recognize it with closed eyes or I can rocognize it with my eyes closed? The 2nd one has a better flow in the syntax of everyday English as it is found more commonly in the everyday dialogue. The 1st one is a bit more jarring, but still grammatically not wrong, so you might be more liable to use the 1st one only in poetry to grab people's attention. |

I said in one thread "I accuse you to be..." Is it possible to say that or should I say "I accuse you of being..." instead?

I said in one thread "I accuse you to be..." Is it possible to say that or should I say "I accuse you of being..." instead? I believe both would be fitting in but with I accuse you to be you would have to say I accuse you to be a Member of the the mafia or I accuse you to be a shopper at Walmart. |

I said in one thread "I accuse you to be..." Is it possible to say that or should I say "I accuse you of being..." instead? Simply say so "You are __________!" The accusation is implied. No need to say it otherwise. Both are a bit awkward in actual usage of English. It's recommended to write in direct verb form than indirect verb form. |

Is there any difference in meaning between "I made a tactical error" and "I made a tactical mistake"?

Is there any difference in meaning between "I made a tactical error" and "I made a tactical mistake"? IMO, there really isn't any noticeable difference. |
