A: You cast a #spell on me and made me your emotional prisoner.
B: Really? But I don't even know how to #spell, being a non-native speaker and everything. English spelling is too whimsical for me to handle.

@SoVeryBritish Chilly in the shade and sweaty under the sun.

Teacher: "#Spell means to write or name the letters that form a word in correct sequence."
Student: "#Spell means, to throw in "L" and double "L", "ee" and "ea", "u" and double "o", "c" and "k" and "ck" to confuse the non-native speakers like us."

@nreillyjohnson We are all under your #spell for today.

@Shammi35659470 @DzintraSullivan Long time no see. 🤗

[Haoyan Do @Haoyando]

Unbound your #spell, only to fall into the unknown and the reckless.
The price of freedom.

@Shammi35659470 @DzintraSullivan Thank you for your greeting. I was absent for a while.

"Is snatch a negative word?" Pul, the non-native speaker asks.
"What?" Tom, the native speaker is puzzled.
"Google says here: seize in a rude or eager way." Pul says.
Tom stares at Pul and says, "you're asking the strangest question."

@rickyj555 I agree. My vegan weekend makes me feel a little deprived right now. LOL.

[Haoyan Do @Haoyando]

Try to be a vegan today.
If I stop looking at it through a meat colored #glasses,
I don't feel so deprived.
Vegan is just a habit.

@rickyj555 Happy flipping. 👋👋

[Haoyan Do @Haoyando]

Something happens in your life,
then suddenly your views #flip,
opinions change.
What used to be order
is only a veiled #racket.
What used to be happy coexistence
is only a precarious balance.

A:I changed my opinion.
B:Nothing wrong with change, but the #velocity and frequency of it...
A:If I change slower than you, you call me stubborn; Faster than you, I'm fickle.
B:So let's change with the same pace.
A:Well, I'm sure you'll call me boring then.

@rickyj555 Thank you. That's very nice of you to help me deal with something so foxy and intriguing.

Non-Native Speaker's Manifestation:
English has #foxed me
forever, but one day I will
outfox it. ONE DAY.
