English doesn't borrow from other languages.It follows other languages down dark alleys,knocks them over n goes thru their pockets for loose grammar-T.Pratchett

Brave girl 👏 While so many men in India drift into uselessness and frustration, women are marching forward with courage and purpose. She’s the future not them.

@Wordofwise_ I doubt it. It’s wise to start reading the people around you—and steer clear of the shady ones. Sadly, they’re not always easy to shake off, and karma seems oddly generous to them. They often thrive while living off the backs of others. Stay sharp!

@iswearenglish I guess 'area' is the right collocation. How about 'zone'?

@bbcle Loads of them. Hard to pick one. One of my favourites is 'me time' - when I listen to the BBC!

@iswearenglish Kick. Heard an interesting idiom 'kick the bucket'. Is it used formally or informally?

This is Jacinda Ardern - the first Prime Minister to have dealt with a major terrorist attack, a deadly volcanic eruption and a pandemic all in her first term of office, all while holding a baby.

Blokes - just give up.

Why has Spain been hit so hard by the coronavirus pandemic? https://t.co/Kikzo9YElT

@iswearenglish 👍 - Thanks!

@iswearenglish How can I access your videos from the date you started putting them up on youtube? When I scroll down on Twitter and your youtube channel they stop after about one hundred or so.

Soldiers across Spain are doing what they can to support the fight against the coronavirus epidemic in the country, be it disinfecting senior homes or transporting the bodies of victims. Their weapons now are mops, not rifles, reports @elpaissemanal https://t.co/nLKtTCps06

I drove across central London yesterday to deliver food. God it was sad - stripped of its bustle and dirt, its lovers and drunks, its hope and its hubris. Everything human gone, except the odd queue at a post office or butcher. Bleak.
