Difference of everyone and everybody? Someone and somebody?

January 06, 2016

EVERYBODY = EVERYONE. "Everybody" is slightly less formal than "everyone," and "everybody" is used more commonly in spoken English.

SOMEONE = SOMEBODY. Similarly, "somebody" is less formal than "someone."

They are all standard words, so they can all be used in essays.

What's the meaning of "Point of no return" ?

January 06, 2016

"The point of no return" = the point beyond which one must continue on one's current course of action because turning back is impossible, too expensive, or dangerous.

Basically, it's the point where you can't turn back anymore; you have to just keep on going. For example, if you are on a plane to do skydiving, the point of no return is when you jump off the plane. Once you jump off, there is no turning back. If you watch or read "One Piece," the Straw Hats crossed the point of no return at Enies Lobby when Sogeking shoots down the World Government flag. Once he did that, they were essentially waging war against the World Government.

what's the difference between yourself and yourselves?

January 06, 2016

Use "yourself" for the singular you. Use "yourselves" for the plural you. In English, "you" can be either singular (e.g., "I don't like you") or plural (e.g., "I don't like any of you"), so we have "yourself" and "yourselves," e.g., "You don't know yourself, Jo" and "You guys don't know yourselves."

"could care less?" or "couldn't care less?"

January 06, 2016

"I could not care less" = it would be impossible for me to care less than I do because I do not care at all. This is the correct, standard idiom to use if you want to say "I don't care at all."

Unfortunately, because so many people use the nonsensical "I could care less," that has also become accepted. (If you think about it, "I could care less" means that you care.)

"i" is singular or plural? Singular isn't it? So don't need to put "s" for the verb. Am I right?

January 06, 2016

You are correct. "I" is singular noun, but unlike most other singular nouns, we do not add -s at the end of the verb to signify present tense:

- I drink (not "drinks") a lot of coffee.
- I talk (not "talks") to myself whenever I get nervous.

What does "seems legit" mean?

January 04, 2016

It's an informal abbreviation of "seems legitimate," i.e., "seems genuine" or "seems valid." For example, "Because your excuse seems legit, we will let you go this time."

However, as an internet meme, "seems legit" is now used for things that clearly do not look genuine or correct. In other words, it is used sarcastically.

what's the difference between thank and thanks?

January 04, 2016

THANK = present tense of "thank" for I, you, we, they, and plural nouns, e.g., We thank you for everything you've done for us.

THANKS = present tense of "thank" for he, she, it, and singular nouns, e.g., She thanks you for helping her with her math homework.

Hi! If there's question like: "five words about your first crush, then." Nah, what 'then' means in that sentence?thx in adv

January 04, 2016

In that context, it means "in that case" or "therefore." For example,

Nan: Let's go to the beach today!
Henry: It's too cold.
Nan: Let's go to Little Tokyo and eat hot ramen, then. (This is the same as "In that case, let's go to Little Tokyo and eat hot ramen.")
Henry: Good idea.

I always love talking alone while watching myself in the mirror. I always record my own voice. That's the way I train my English. All the sentences above, are they good?

January 04, 2016

There are many ways to express that, and you came very close to being right. One way is "I love talking to myself while staring into the mirror. I always record my own voice and play it back. That's the way I improve my English speaking skills."

Please teach me how to use either, neither, nor. Thanks

January 04, 2016

We use EITHER ... OR when we want to refer to a choice between two possibilities:

- Nan feels like eating EITHER tacos OR ramen for lunch.
- Henry will EITHER wash his car OR write 100 test questions today.
- Peter will be EITHER skiing OR snowboarding when we see him later this afternoon.

We use NEITHER ... NOR when we want to say that two or more things are NOT true:

- NEITHER Henry NOR Peter feels like going to the gym today.
- We like NEITHER to study NOR to write papers on such a beautiful day.
- Nan wants to watch NEITHER the movies on Netflix NOR the videos on YouTube.

What is the meaning of 'lowkey' and how to use it?

January 04, 2016

"Low-key" basically means "not flashy" or "not showy," e.g., She wore a low-key outfit to the ceremony.

People often use it nowadays informally as a synonym for "secret," e.g., Keep it low-key, but my friend cheated on the exam.

In formal writing, don't use "low-key." Use "discreet" or some other synonym instead.

"Without no respect" what does that mean?

January 04, 2016

First, it should be "with no respect" or "without any respect." ("Without no" is a double negative.) It means literally "having no respect," e.g., The restaurant, which treats its customers without any respect, received 5,000 negative comments on Yelp.

Is there any difference between "You better" and "You'd better"?

January 04, 2016

"You better" is informal and appropriate in only conversations or informal writing (texts, tweets, etc.). "You'd better" (you had better) is more formal and is acceptable in written English:

- You'd better study for tomorrow's exam; it's going to be hard.
- I'd better get back to work.
- They'd better be done with the assignment by the time I get home.
