I like that Smile . I think I would memorize it.

Again,

It was some sort of a trick/ hoax.

My friend is nervous / high - strung / nervy/ jumpy / sinewy.

They consider him the horn of publicity / propaganda.

navigator, either trick or hoax is fine.

In your second example, nervy means brash or bold. Does not fit.
Sinewy means muscular so that does not fit.

I guess a horn of publicity is all right, but it sounds awkward if it means someone who is out to use propaganda to get sympathy for their side of an argument.

Still with the question, what do you think the best is:

-The man has a sleek / slick / smooth hair.

-The man has a slender / thin mustache.

-He is a great / dignified / magnificent story writer / narrative.

-I will not exaggerate / aggrandize / overstate if I say he is the best.

-I wan't that deep / converstant /well-informed in your culture.


If you have an alternative words or expression that will be great.

Hey, Prince Henry. Let me help you help yourself:

If you are trying to learn the English language, just remember this:

Describing words go with naming words, i.e. noun= naming word. adjective=describing word. There are so many, many choices and the only way to improve your skills is to do a complete sentence, just as you are doing, but start with simple things:

My dream was unique. (one of a kind)

I was not happy because I did not get to see him.

I shouted happily. (scream denotes a horror situation)

Still think of you and eiffel55. <smile>

Thanks Letty, I gave up looking for eiffel 65. Now, I think I want to hear

Micheal Jackson. The song bad if I'm not mistaken. It's been a while.

My time is full, and I try hard to learn, and make everything right as far as

I can.

I wish I was a superman Rolling Eyes

Well, navigator, you are one of the few who comes back to say, "Thank you."

That officially makes you a prince. <smile>

He was dallying / playing / twiddling with his beard.

When do you think you can use these words in a sentence or how often

would you use them, cruel, grueling, austere, coarse, stern.



I'm a loser, today I didn’t get the time to do anything good Sad . I don't talk

ofcourse about my daily missions.

Navigator, dear. Any of those three would be fine. The trick is to use the one that conveys the picture that you want to create in the mind of the reader. See?

You are NOT a loser. You have problems as we all do, and writing here helps you to resolve them.

Big hugs, my friend.

never have the time. Ofcourse, I'll keep writing.
