Just an Ordinary Owl? English Is hardly ever spoken 'as written'. Many difficult consonant combinations are elided and the change of the /ng/ sound to /n/ is very common in certain classes of speakers. Some of these elisions are so common that they are represented in writing...

If it never received another gift it could probably fund itself indefinitely off the financial returns to its wealth.

Just an Ordinary Owl? @narsha It's exactly the same usage as "He can live off his earnings as a refuse collector" In this case, its meaning is identical to "from" or "out of" It means that the 'financial returns' (i.e. interest) from its investments are probably enough to...

christian toney a contraction is a combination of two word to shorten them like *don't* = Do not. Slang words such OMG LOL or Hella are words put together as abbreviations that are not grammatically correct. Hope that helps :)

Bluedoll @narsha "you n me" is neither. It is internet slang like brb for "be right back" which is not technically English lanquage slang but a computer acronym.

MAJor Contractions are words formed out of two words. For example, instead of saying I am, we say, I'm. Or is not could be shortened or contracted into isn't. Slang are informal words in every language. These are words that are not usually found in a local...

Just an Ordinary Owl? "so much ... as ..." is a comparative construction. It is rather awkwardly phrased. "The differences for which language gets blamed may not be due to words but rather to communications on other levels." It means that the differences in words [between the...

Shasta It's actually "chillin" (or "chilling"). It's a slang term meaning to relax or pass the time without any real purpose.

Just an Ordinary Owl? "As is (a), so is (b)" is a kind of simile construction. It is another way of saying "(b) is like/as (a)". This short and pithy kind of statement is mostly used for aphorisms or in a poetical context because of its rhythm, which is more pleasing or memorable...

Just an Ordinary Owl? I think that 'than' is a misprint for 'that'. The whole sentence, in fact, is not very clear, to the point of being generalised nonsense. I would understand the whole sentence to mean something like: "[One of] the greatest regrets in life [is that] the wrong...

Just an Ordinary Owl? @narsha No, the sentence is actually saying rather the reverse: "In spite of the fact that he is outspoken, I still like him." In other words, the speaker implies that he/she doesn't like 'outspokenness' in general but that, in this case, it doesn't affect...
