<< review queue entry 62387 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 之乎者也 is nominal ("archaic expressions" or "zhī, hū, zhě and yě") rather than adjectival ("all Greek to me"). 被送去跟著私塾先生念了半年的「之乎者也」， was exposed to a classical Chinese education for half a year, 所以这信文绉绉，没把之乎者也用错。 his letter was couched in an elegant style without incorrectly using any of the various particles of literary Chinese.
