Having just typed "to the policeman" in a previous post, I just had a thought. That is certainly a strange turn of phrase - nothing that I would say or write normally.

So true. Not exactly the way the average American would refer to them. We usually call them cops.

Where did you get 'to the policeman'?

I ask because that was my understanding of what was written on the tarot card. But, then I kept seeing it phrased as 'Dear Policeman'. So I went looking and all I could find was 'Dear Policeman'.

Your post makes me wonder....

I think the actual note on the card said:

'Dear Policeman, I am God.'

At least that's what was originally reported.

I would write: "To the Police" or "To the Policemen" or "To the Chief" or :"To Chief Moose" or something like that. The use of "Policeman" is awkward. It's in the singular, not the plural, for starters.

You're right...I'm wondering why it was "addressed" at all except to be certain it would be noticed. Did HE call in a tip to the cops and say "I left you something Mr. Policeman"?
