stuff & thing

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!

difference between cooperate and collaborate

cooperate - (

For starters, they are synonyms.

There is a subtle difference however.

• When you cooperate with someone you work with them, help them, do what someone has asked or told you to do. And you do it without complaining or arguing.
• Cooperation could just mean that you've given me help on something I'm working on and that I'm ultimately responsible for.)

collaborate - (

• If you collaborate with me on a project, we have shared authorship.

• ollaboration is linked to "agreement" (like a contract for a common short-term benefit

• Collaborate means to work together with 2 or more people to produce a piece of work. It’s a co-production. Collaborate is particularly used in the context of whole-of-government contexts, or multi-agency contexts. In other words, to produce a result when multiple agencies are involved, all players must collaborate – work together to produce a result.)

difference between country and countryside

difference between tune and melody

tune - (If someone were to say to me "He played a delightful little melody on the piano", I'd expect him to have used a single finger, while "a delightful little tune" is more likely to have involved both hands.)
melody - (If someone were to say to me "He played a delightful little melody on the piano", I'd expect him to have used a single finger, while "a delightful little tune" is more likely to have involved both hands.)

What's the difference between a tune and a melody?

• Tune can mean a song as a whole as well as its main musical theme, while melody is usually restricted to the latter, at least nowadays. If someone were to say to me "He played a delightful little melody on the piano", I'd expect him to have used a single finger, while "a delightful little tune" is more likely to have involved both hands. ("A delightful little song" would remove all ambiguity.)  Melody is more likely than tune to be used in opposition to harmony. If you're singing in the choir and ask "who has the melody at the fifth measure", the answer will be (probably) "the sopranos"; but if you ask "who has the tune", you'll either get puzzled looks, or someone will play an A on the piano. It's a bit subjective, but I think tune is less formal than melody: if you're whistling it, it's a tune, but if Maria Callas sang it, it's a melody.

• Mainly spelling. That is, tune and melody are very, very similar; I would treat them as synonyms. The MacOS X dictionary (not a dreadfully authoritative source of information) defines 'tune' as MELODY and 'melody' as TUNE, supporting my contention. There are other words used in the definitions, but they come up very similar:

Difference between - Even though, Even if, Even when & Even so

These expressions are not always interchangeable; the context of the sentence will affect your choice:

"Even though" is used when something is always done or a fact is mentioned.

"Even when" is used when something is occasionally done.

"Even if" is used when something is rarely done or just imagined.

Even So

"Even so" is very much like the word "but" or "however." "Even so" is different in that it is used with surprising or unexpected results.

Examples:

She is loud and unfriendly. Even so, I like her.
She is loud and unfriendly, so it is unexpected that I like her.

8 Tips for British English Pronunciation

I think it is very helpful in pronunciation. There in the world are so many accents of English, so don't be shy about how you are listened to others. it just doesn't matter, but just try your best to say it clearly. English people are non-rhotic speakers. But some others country's people are very rhotic speakers because they say /r/ very clear such as Russian, Mongolian, Scottish  . Sometimes it is very annoying to listen. So just don't worry about whether you can say /r/ or not. (I love you Jade. you are inspiring me)

Subjunctive verbs for example - (I suggest that he go.)

1

Subjunctive

The following is a mini-tutorial on the use of the Subjunctive. After you have studied the tutorial, complete the associated exercises. If you already know how to use this verb form, you can skip the explanation and go directly to the exercises.

FORM

Use the simple form of the verb. The simple form is the infinitive without the "to." The simple form of the verb "to go" is "go." The Subjunctive is only noticeable in certain forms and tenses.

USE

The Subjunctive is used to emphasize urgency or importance. It is used after certain expressions (see below).

Examples:

• I suggest that he study.
• Is it essential that we be there?
• Don recommended that you join the committee.

NOTICE

The Subjunctive is only noticeable in certain forms and tenses. In the examples below, the Subjunctive is not noticeable in the you-form of the verb, but it is noticeable in the he-form of the verb.

Examples:

• You try to study often. you-form of "try"
• It is important that you try to study often. Subjunctive form of "try" looks the same.

• He tries to study often. he-form of "try"
• It is important that he try to study often. Subjunctive form of "try" is noticeable here.

Verbs Followed by the Subjunctive

to ask (that)

difference between townspeople and townpeople

Is it correct to say townspeople or townpeople?

Ive always heard it said townspeople. -----------ooooooo--------- It's a contraction of a town's people; the people of the town

difference between "," he said. " ." and " ," he said, " ."

“I was thinking,” she said, “that maybe you could teach me.” - (here after "said" if you put comma, in double quotation, the first letter should not be capitalized  )

“I was thinking,” she said. “That maybe you could teach me.” - (here after "said" if you put period, in double quotation, the first letter should be capitalized )

If the dialog tag is in the middle of a character speaking, then the dialog is not capitalized after the tag unless it starts a new sentence.  For example:

“I was thinking,” she said, “that maybe you could teach me.” [RIGHT]

“I was thinking,” she said, “That maybe you could teach me.” [WRONG]

“I love that dog,” she said. “He’s so cute.” [RIGHT]

“I love that dog,” she said, “he’s so cute.” [WRONG]

difference between the same as or the same with

the same as - ()
the same with - ()

"the same with" and "the same as"

(I know they have different meaning and usage by looking up dictionary and google it. But I am still not clear at their different, and in what situation I should use which one.

I was told that, "the same with" could be explained as the "the same situations with " like following sentence:

"John did not go to school today" "It is same with Mary"


As to "the same as" , it could be explained as " the same thing as", like:

"I have the same dreams as you")

difference between 'as well as' and 'and'

She is clever as well as beautiful - (it means she is beautiful and she is also clever - but in this situation people already know she is beautiful because the speaker used 'the clever' to tell the people that is not mentioned before)

She is clever and beautiful - (she is both clever and beautiful. here people don't know she is both clever and beautiful. they heard first time when speaker said it)

As well as has a similar meaning to not only … but also.

• She is clever as well as beautiful. (= She is not only beautiful, but also clever.)

Note that as well as introduces information which is already known to the listener/ reader; the rest of the sentence gives new information.

“as well” instead of “and”

(In my university publications, I notice that many enumerations use "as well" [1] instead of "and" [2]. Is this just to make the text look more sophisticated or is there a real semantic difference? When should I use one or the other?

[1] "The algorithm can process text as well as binary files."

[2] "The algorithm can process text and binary files.")
