Alexander Koryagin to Dallas Hinton:

AK> Anton  has  told  me  that  you told me that King Arthas
AK> smelled like horse (without an  article)  because  horse
AK> was a substance. Did you tell it? I don't remember. ;)

I should have quoted Dallas:

DH> In  other  words, "horse" is equivalent to "perfume". We
DH> could say "smelled like skunk", "smelled  like  manure",
DH> "smelled like perfume", and so on.

By  the  way, I have no objections to "smelled of horse" but
am not happy with "smelled like horse" and  can't  help  but
want to insert an article after `like'.
