More PREP-Drop

[Wilson Gray]

A report WRT Venus Williams's costume in some sports-gossip column
found by my wife:

"... her amazing dress was much _talked_ by the spectators ..."

'Course, it could be just a typo or perhaps the author had "discussed"
in mind, but his fingers tried to use "talked about," instead.

Youneverknow.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"––a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
