difference between stuff and thing

stuff - (Stuff is more physical but things relate to ideas or actions. stuff is uncountable noun, while thing is a countable noun. They really mean the same thing, however "too much stuff going on" is more informal than "too many things going on".)

thing - (Stuff is more physical but things relate to ideas or actions. stuff is uncountable noun, while thing is a countable noun. They really mean the same thing, however "too much stuff going on" is more informal than "too many things going on".)

What is the difference between stuff(staff?) and thing?

  • Good question!

    stuff is very casual word that should only be used in conversation.
    We often use it in place of things.
    For example:
    I have a lot of stuff to do today.
    I have a lot of things to do today.

    It can also be used at times when we can't use "things" for plural things.
    What's all that stuff on the table for?

    The basic nuance of stuff is things that the speaker feels is not that important or doesn't want to be too exact about.

    Hope this helps.

7 Things Successful People Do On The Weekends

Doing piles of laundry, cleaning and finishing up some leftover work assignments. These dreary tasks are not what successful people do on the weekend. Instead, they fill their free days with recharging activities that allow their brains to reboot after a frenetic work week.
 According to Laura Vanderkam, author of What the Most Successful People Do on the Weekend, professional superstars limit their chores on Saturdays and Sundays and instead use those hours to relax with family and exercise (after all, sitting at a desk for hours on end can wreak havoc on the body). A 2014 study from Stanford found that a person's productivity declines when his or her workweek exceeds 50 hours. In fact, productivity plummets so dramatically that after 55 hours, the study found that there's hardly a point to working.  
The infographic below, which is based on Vanderkam's findings, offers smart habits that'll help prepare the brain to take Monday by storm. Workaholics are advised to take note (and print the chart and tape it to their laptop).

difference between 'made by me' and 'made by myself'

made by me - (Made by me = I made it.)
made by myself - (Made by myself = I made it alone, with no one else' help.)


What is the difference between Made by Me and Made by Myself?

(I'm usually saying "made by me'' not "made by myself")

  •  No difference..both say you made it..so say it however you want.

  • Made by me = I made it. 
    Made by myself = I made it alone, with no one else' help.

  • I is use as the subject of a sentence - I gave her a kiss. 
    Me is used as the object (direct or inirect) of a sentence - she gave me a kiss. 
    Myself is an emphatic version of I and me: 

    I myself prefer . . . 
    Who should I speak to? Myself. 

    For this reason, people often use 'myself' when they don't know whether to use I or me!


By Me or By Myself: what's the difference?
