Different adverb, but you knew that, right? Sorry, themilum, better luck next time. Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: GAH!

Obviously, right is a noun here. Walk can be either a transitive or intransitive verb, but set is only transitive. Therefore the directive is to set the right down. So it must be that the first part of the line is directing the listener to walk the right into the (building, room, area). Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: GAH!

And grab a couple of guilty pleasure movies to make sure the cure is successful.

I think. Or it might be a shortening of the term "set yourself" which would make it fitin to your set of rules better. Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: GAH!
