Do you say "Clear Sailing" or "Plain Sailing"? Me and my mate both think we are right but I thought I'd ask you all to see what you think :D

1 entry found for "Clear sailing".

Clear sailing

n : easy unobstructed progress: "after we solved that problem the rest was plain sailing"

True, I don't understand how you can have plain sailing though. When I hear the word "Plain" I think of things like plain bread heh Clear sailing suggests clear skies to me though so I guess that's why I say it.

I dont really thing there is a right or wrong answer to this, i suppose people will say what ever they feel easier with. Plain Sailing...Clear sailing everybody is different ;)

My English teacher said clear sailing so I used that in my review of the EyeToy but then my Mate said it was plain sailing. It's probably one of these things that they are both right. Then again I could just be horribly wrong and my teacher had a temporary laps in intellect...or maybe she was reading an American book. So many possibilities heh.
