meself | BS: Language: 'I forgot my glasses at home.' (64* d) | RE: BS: Language: 'I forgot my glasses at home.' | 01 Jun 24 |
Yes: "I forgot to put my glasses in my pocket/handbag/whatever before I left home, so they're still there - at home." Or: "While preparing to leave, I forgot the very existence of my glasses; therefore, I left them at home." But now I'm getting sidetracked - I hope more people will chime in with whether they're familiar with the usage in question. I'm starting to get the impression that it's a North-Americanism. |
