As far as I can see, if ships can approach, leave, chase, they can also flee. Storm in a fleacup.
if "ships fleeing " is poor english , would "ships colliding" also be poor english ?
mctag didn't tell us what the brains trust finds as acceptable to describe the situation .
i suppose one might say "crews fleeing with their ships" , but i would find that a rather akward wording .
we were taught to use short rather than long and awkward sentences .
i must remember to check with a "british" english professor tomorrow morning .
Looks like I've crawled out on a limb here.
Clary has spoken, so one must take due note.
The boy stood on the burning deck
Whence all but he had fled
He looked in a good big dictionary
And then he went to bed.
