Returning To Common Sense
According to this dictionary, the phrase "return to" could mean restart an
activity or go back to a state. But the I saw this sentence in an article:
"He expressed doubt that the United States would return to common sense
after having deserted it for so long, but he pledged that, if genuine
changes did come, the Soviet Union would notice them in time and be a
reliable partner in honest talks."
Common sense is a quality, not an activity or state. So, could "return to
common sense" be an error?
