[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster. I think the ingratiate poster is not a native English speaker and/or might have special needs. The sheep converging on blood (huh?) "metaphor" gave it away. There is a language processing problem at work here. [/quote] The mixed metaphors is perfectly acceptable provided everyone listening is native to English, particularly when the speaker specifies that they did mix metaphors. However, not being native-English speakers would involve many of the processing issues some of the other posters are describing. [/quote] No, it makes no sense. Sheep smelling blood and attacking? Wolves are also pack animals, so she could have used the correct phrase to imply that everyone was engaging in pack behavior by ganging up on her. Which we weren't, each of us individually found her defense of her incorrect grammar ridiculous. [/quote]
