Question Hi, there Please, could you help me with some questions? 1) If you are in an airport and your gate has changed a lot of times, woukd it sound odd to say : "They have us running around like a chicken with its head cut off"? "Have us running around"? 2) If you are on a plane and you fly past a citu, but not over it, could you say "We are now flying by Lima", for exampleV? "Fly by"? 3) Would you say "We don't/won't arrive in New York for another 30 minutes" or "There are still 30 minutes left before we arrive in NY"? Are both odd? 4) Finally, would you say "I stabbed myself with a pen by accident" or "I stuck myself with a pen by accident? Please! Thank you!!!
