I’ll have to make up some excuse for why I’m late.
They often argue, but they always make up soon afterwards.
Let me just finish putting on my make-up and then we can go.
I’m often impressed by the economy of the English language.

One Little Mistake
I alway say that making mistakes is a vital part of learning a language, to the point of tedium, I’m sure. Making mistakes is also, however, a key aspect of the formation of a language.
2018 Goals
I don’t have any 2018 goals to be honest. I just wanted to set that out straight away so you’re not disappointed. I’m one of those terrible people who never set New Year’s resolutions.
I don’t have any particular problem with them. I just think that if you want to make some change, you don’t need to wait for a particular point in time to start. And if it’s a big change, it’s probably better to ease into it, rather than making a sudden change. The word goal though, is somewhat interesting to me.
Analogue and Digital
Writing in a recent post about telling the time got me thinking about the words analogue and digital.
They’re two words that can be used in many different contexts, and I can safely say that I have a general sense of their meaning. Giving each a precise definition, however, is not always so easy.

Welcome to 2018!
What Time is it?
A pretty straightforward question generally, but one with a surprisingly complex range of possible answers.
Maiden Name
You may never have thought much about this term. It probably seems fairly logical to you. It’s the name your mother had when she was a younger woman, before she was married, and maiden is an old word for a young woman, isn’t it? Yes, but as always, there’s a little more to it than that.
