sure is a good thing we don't demand pedagogy here.
Language is for communication. The language you use should be the language that is agreed upon by the people with whom you choose to communicate. Here the agreed upon form is "How many hours did you fly last year." Everyone here, including you, knows what that means with no ambiguity. Clearly you were attempting to be funny with the pedagogy, but it is late at night and it didn't get a laugh. Sorry.

You can fly an airplane, a ballon, a kite etc. but you can't fly an hour. How many hours did you spend flying last year would be the literate way to ask the question. trimmed to end -- Gregory Hall |
