Talk:Suzumiya Haruhi:Volume7 Chapter 7

"That was exactly where I and Koizumi had spent our lives digging for up to two meters."

"Had spent our lives digging" sounds so wierd. Change? --umiman 03:23, 16 February 2007 (PST)

There's nothing technically wrong with it, but I'd recommend "wasted our time" in place of "spent our lives" and removing the "for." Smidge204 11:02, 16 February 2007 (PST)

I went with "spent our life force" as an intermediate solution. Removing the "for" still leaves the last phrase a bit awkward, due to the implicit down vs. the explicit up. May sub "as much as two meters deep," eventually.--Nutcase 04:50, 17 February 2007 (PST)
