Is it correct to say: "by walk"?

In what context?
Posted By: Candy Re: "by walk" - 09/05/12 12:42 PM
one can come ...by car, bike, bus, taxi, plane, horse
but not 'by walk'

by is used for vehicles only.

if you walked, you came by walking..
Posted By: BranShea Re: "by walk" - 09/05/12 07:32 PM
Sure, and if you came by walking you did not come by walk.
Posted By: zmjezhd Re: "by walk" - 09/05/12 07:39 PM
... but you did come under way on foot by god's wounds ...

Or "by foot" or by "shank's mare".

Or, if in UK, Shank's Pony!

True. I'd forgotten that way.

We (Québec English) typically say, on foot instead of by foot.
Posted By: Faldage Re: "by walk" - 09/09/12 03:31 AM
Yeah. "On foot" might be more common, but if you were asked if you came by bus or by train you might, if you had walked, say "by foot."

If you see me walkin' down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by.

Mostly by fly and by ride, I'd guess, and I believe she still does.

She can either come by highway
Or she can come by rail
But I got my head in my hands
Wondering what called her to fail

I wonder if krish666 came by to see what was said?
Posted By: tsuwm Re: "by walk" - 09/13/12 03:54 PM
she probly was just passing by.

There are bystanders but I don't think you can bystand; therefore I'd say you can't bywalk, either.
Posted By: BranShea Re: "by walk" - 09/28/12 06:58 PM
You can pass by but avoid a bypass.
