Why it takes awhile to understand English!!

I miss Thok, too, for that matter.

i think according to the dictionary, the word 'set' has the most meanings or uses, or at least according to the OED.

but up has gotta be a close runner up.

Don't stop there. Phrasal verbs can go on forever and confuse the heck out of people trying to learn them. There is a great book called, "How We Really Talk," by Em Turner Chitty, which really gets into phrasal verbs. I use this book in my EFL classes to help students understand what phrasal verbs exists, how to use them, and their importance. Fun read if you really want to get into phrasal verbs.

I doubt you are very helpful to them.

As an aside, since they last posted here six years ago, they probably have mastered the phrasal verbs by now.

Hey, is this my old buddy duddy, Back Seat Suzy, Suzy Cream Cheese, et al?

If so, long time; no see, and welcome back.

Oops! I thought this was a new post. Miss her, anyway.

It is a very difficult language, yes. For example:

If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?

If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren’t people from Holland called Holes?

If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a racing car not called a racist?

Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?

Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

‘I am’ is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that ‘I do’ is the longest Sentence

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn’t it follow that electricians can be delighted,musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed,tree surgeons debarked and dry cleaners depressed?

No one ever says ‘It’s only a game’ when their football team is winning.

If 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhoea, does that mean that 1 enjoys it?

Why is you send something by road it is called a shipment, but when you send it by sea it is called cargo?

". . . phrasal verbs exist . . ."--your English sucks, what qualifies you to each others?

Did you mean "a while"?
