Why shouldn't you name your daughter Nan?

I've just realised that a phrase I have been using all my life* - "Cast in stone" - doesn't make any sense at all. There are many ways to work with stone, but the amount of heat needed really prohibits casting it.

The phrase I have always known is "Set in Stone". This indicates that, usually a rule of some sort, has been engraved on a stone - a bit like the 15 commandments.

I've cast quite a few of them...I like the ones that are flat and round so that they skip across the water.

I believe that term cast derived from "etched", possibly? Etched in stone. More accurate than Cast in Stone. I'm sure an American did that.

I usually hear 'set in stone'. I have heard one person say 'grown in stone', which got a lot of confused looks. He also said things like 'Existing doesn't exist' and 'shells cause phones'. He was a bit weird.

I love it!! People like that give me a good chuckle. I sometimes would rather hang out with "weird" people than "normal" people. They just seem more real to me.
With the caveat that "weird" doesn't translate to sadistic serial killer.

Another thing this guy did was wear completely mismatched (and often inappropriate) clothes to school. He even wore a (gasp) mankini with a scarf and mittens once (This guy is 5'6" and 350 lbs. And no, he is NOT Sean!)
He got expelled for that one. And arrested.
I think he was crazy.

I did watch an Ancient Aliens that proposed that the Pyramids were created by casting stone into the shapes and sizes required. They weren't really able to explain exactly how that worked but it was entertaining.

Yes, he is the best one. I guess his hair is his trademark. The one I can't stand is the guy with the strange way of talking. Drives me nuts!

Usually, "carved in stone".

Similar to "etched in stone" or that you are carving the stone, not casting the stone.

Would that not be cast of stone?
Cast in stone implies to me that the stone is the mold, and something else is cast in it.
|

|

That's even worse - imagine trying to make the cope and drag from stone - they'd weigh a ton, and the mould itself would have to be really simple as it would need to be carved.

I'm glad you did

Yes indeed - and by definition, nobody can achieve their life long ambition, unless that ambition involved their demise.

I sometimes think it is the most important environment of all. However, some...most, don't. Yet they want me to pull great things out of my arse. I tell them, I can't shoot fireworks and daisies out of my arse without a proper functioning dev environment.
