A Little Vocabulary Help Needed by Nobody: 12:39am On Nov 21, 2014 |
Ok, it's not vocabs per se but there's this popular saying often used that has been continuously twisted to the confusion of an average anglophonist. Please, is it: You can't eat your cake and have it or You can't have your cake and eat I used to go for the first one until I saw a thread on Nairaland, which quoted a Media Outlet, using the latter so I need to know which is correct.
