To Gene and Michael
Sometimes I doubt myself on the correct use of some English expressions.
After all, they don’t teach all of them at school. In my case, I was
first exposed to the language when I was a child and my first teacher
was a british lady. It was when I emigrated to Canada in the 70’s that I
learned most of what I use today. However, after a long time back in
Argentina, some of it goes away, even though I try to keep it up by
reading English books .
Thanks for the clarification anyway
Regards
Rafael

Hi Thierry You know English is a second language to me. Perhaps I
should have said "I came across" or "just read this". Having just
returned from holidays I may have made a mistake in the way I
expressed myself. Maybe careless in the way I wrote it. I was not at
all surprised or shocked. Just used the wrong expression. Sorry Rafael
Your usage was just fine if you intended that you came across
something and were not specifically searching for it. Example
sentence about an experience of mine: I was playing games at
armorgames.com and stumbled upon an ad for an HVAC (heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning) company in town which I applied to.
Sincerely,
