Dec 4, 2016 at 17:30 | comment | added | fedorqui | @stangdon oh, thanks! First of all, I thought it was no hurries, so thanks for that. Secondly, is there any way to "merge" both no hurry and no worries in a single sentence into something idiomatic? | |
Dec 4, 2016 at 17:25 | comment | added | stangdon | It's grammatically correct as far as it goes, but it's so un-idiomatic that it looks very strange. The phrase is usually "no hurry", singular, because it's short for "there is no hurry", singular, because you are only in one hurry at a time. But you could have more than one worry at a time! In any case, it sounds non-fluent and non-idiomatic to use them together with "nor". | |
