Likewise in great form. I b'lieve that's the USn standard. Canadaers?
Other Canadaers may correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall hearing either expression used much - so I'm not sure which is the norm here. Read through this debate with interest, though!
didn't Fisk suggest on form = wit and in form = physique? dang, will have to go back and have another look. Anyway, wot he said made sense to me.
Anyone else notice what a weird word "form" is, if you say/read it often enough?! I remember one hapless teacher choosing to give us an example of verb conjugation with the word "farm" - also a doozy if you hear it too often:
I farm
you farm
he/she/it farms
we farm
you farm
they farm
Form. Farm. Barmy....!
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side.
