Thank you for answering, everyone :-). I'm so happy that there was no
disagreement this time :-). I just want to clarify one more thing. Did
I understand it correctly from your posts that if someone uses "nice
and", he means something positive (from his point of view)? For
instance, if in a hot day someone is offered a cold drink, he can call
it "nice and cold", because he wants it to be cold in this weather.
However, if in the morning he is given a cup of cold coffee instead of
hot, he won't call it "nice and cold". Do I understand you correctly?
A drink in hot weather feels nice *because* it is cold, right?
zanooda, who was sure that "pleasantly" and "agreeably" were synonyms ...
