Re: Typo in Other Users text?

That depends on your definition of 'by'...

25. near; in the immediate vicinity; at hand: The school is close by.

i.e. Others warm by(near) the fire...

or, supporting your argument...

13. in consequence, as a result, or on the basis of: We met by chance. We won the game by forfeit.

i.e. Others warmed by(as a result of) the fire...

Isn't English fun? Now let's talk about proper usage of

you're vs. your
to vs. too vs. two
read vs. read
then vs. than
there vs. their vs. they're

We'll top off the evening with a discussion of "Though the tough cough and hiccough, plough him through".
