Thanks.
I recently have confused passed out with passed away

Now I’m curious about the context…

Someone hit Reyes from behind the bush, and he passed out.
Boris got crushed by a rock, and he passed away.

Maybe you will remember now :wink:

I have just added an example in my previous post for “put down to”.

Just changed the first name from Boris, because technically he did both :laughing:

You can also say “passed on”. Though I´m not sure if it has to be a long time ago because I only hear that in the context of “he has since passed on” (between event a and event b).

“Learning English with Thimbleweed Park”! :grinning:

I would be careful here, because it has several meanings.

Oh sure. Like “this story has been passed on from generation to generation” etc. (though “down” is more pouplar in that context)

Or ‘the disease was passed on’.

I vaguely remember Ron Gilbert himself using TP or either stating that TP is the official abbreviation for TWP.

Still…we should not accept that as definitive.
