How come people say they ate the last piece of gum, when they really just chew it?!
Answers: lol.... anything that goes into your mouth can be considered eaten... who wants it after that anyway? ;D
I say I chewed it. Some people do swallow though...and I'm still talking about gum...
Because many people swallow their gum.
'Cause they don't want you to get it.
Those are the ones who actually swallow the gum. It wont hurt you and it is better than putting it under the chair. I think it is grammatically correct to say it either way. Most of the English language is messed up like this. You can't pre-heat an oven or de-thaw your car. We bake cookies but cook bacon. Th inking about it makes my head hurt.
