Because of the times, or Due to the times... like "due to the times we live in, you can't say that word in a Church and get out alive"

I like "Because of the times" or "Due to the times". If this were a parliamentary motion, I would second this answer. - Moe, Sep 29, 2009
I guess it's like the German word "Zeitgeist" (spirit of the times) ... where something perhaps happens because of other things happening at the time, rather than direct cause of the local situation - AnnoLoki, Sep 29, 2009
Sorry that sentence was really sloppy, hope it's understood still! - AnnoLoki, Sep 29, 2009

What is going on here.???

CherylSavage became a member today. In next to no time at all, she posted a question without offering any attempt personally to suggest an answer for others to verify.

Cheryl appears to have attempted none of the lessons and gives no indication of having read the forum rules/guidelines.

While her profile page suggests a mature female (i.e not elementary or high school), that does not necessarily indicate that this is not her homework.

Our forum rules/guidelines expect users to try to develop answers on their own before we simply give them answers they have not researched or attempted for themselves.

All members must commit themselves to the Forum Guidelines found at

Rules and Guidelines

We must present a common front or we must all just ignore the rules and allow chaos to to be the rule.

Moe.

I am probably not close but I need to give it a shot... I believe it means "the cause of the times" and englush should be english--- just a side note. I am very sure the native speakers and gurus will weigh in on this soon. smile
