On idioms

Tuesday, January 12, 2016 Consider these two idioms: "Make hay while the sun shines." Yes, the word there is "hay", not "haste", as I hear most people say. Secondly, see "sheath their swords" e.g. The rival parties have decided to sheath their swords. That word is "sheath" (not "shield"). Again, I just recalled I once made the correction on this idiom: "What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander". That is the correct. The word there is "sauce" (not "source", not even "good"). Adages are good to have but mustn't be abused. Kindly note.
