Huh? I think you may be suffering from early onset dementia here, @Galu.

I say this kindly.

It is simple. I clearly get another go. Nobody could hold a note like Barbra.

TBH, @Galu, I am not finding it difficult to think of Musical artists and performers who have sustained a career over 10 years.

Any number 1 hit from an artist/group that charted over more than a decade.

I may have misread the theme...

So, it's not the number 1 hit specifically that charted over more than a decade, but rather the artist or group.

I may have misread the theme...

And not surprisingly. I was another who did not know the word "that" has the same meaning as "who". I blame my English teacher! 😉

 

[SRMcGee]

Galu:

Seriously? As a dense, monolingual North American who spent a career traveling the world negotiating complex commercial agreements, I am humbled by the abundance of people for whom English is a second (or fifth) language and whose command of it rivals my own. Simply put, you ain't got nothing to apologize for.

Regards,
Scott

 

[patrickblue]

Apologies in advance to Galu if his first language is Scots or Gaelic, but I imagine he's probably one of the 95% odd of Scots who speak English as their first language.

 

[SRMcGee]

Good point; I was thinking about the larger community. Mea culpa!

Regards.

 

[AllenB]

I blame my English teacher! 😉

Yes, I've scheduled a Zoom meeting with mine to discuss this 😛

No, it is borderline.. and apologies. My understanding is that if I'd put a comma after 'artist or band' then decade would get referred back to the song, otherwise it falls on the artist or band.

 

[Galu]

I imagine he's probably one of the 95% odd of Scots who speak English as their first language.

I speak Lallans as my first language.

It is the language of Lowland Scotland which differs from English, as this translation of Winnie-the-Pooh illustrates.

That'll teach me to make assumptions.
