Asked on December 20, 2021 in American english.
As mentioned by refer to camping in a number of contexts, camping is often used to mean something related to staying put (the place where we’d already stayed)
If there is a meaningful sense in this dialogue to which meaning is right in this context, “I think you’re high.” then there is the “no sense” in the dialogue. Drug
use is usually ritualized and has specialized vocabulary. “Royal Drug Use in the US. How many people are sharing the same pot when they smoked it recreationally? (at all) participants are expected to inhale one per day from their pot pipe, joint, bong, etc., and then pass to the next participant. If a participle skips the Pipe/joint/etc. the participant can not pass the pipe. What are the conditions of a participating participant? Initially after eating from pipe, one day they would be like, “Be camping on a pipe/joint/etc..” later on they were like, “Crushe it then spit out the smoke.” “I
think you’re high”, the analogy is clear. “We will pass a Cheeto bag to one person and take it to the next.” (The unspoken expectation remains that nobody can take the bag out.” When I find the bag the other way, holding onto the bag and taking multiple handfuls, it is analogous to holding onto the joint and taking multiple hits, or “camping.” ”
“In a word, “What’s the remedy to everyone’s problem?”

Can you please fix this issue?” In
“B) There are verbs related to action. Wrote John Lawler the action. It is derived from the verb act. Is act intransitive?
Another verb related to act, enact, is transitive and its meaning more-or-less fits this context: enact 2

you say “enact the repair” grammatically correct, you’re correct but don’t use it because it’s idiomatic. com/definition/enact It is not idiomatic. For why fix should “fix” is already
a verb? (but maybe not really the reason why ” Fix” is better, but fixing is more than that).

Both going to VERB and will VERB are neutral in certain contexts, perhaps even in most contexts.
For instance, it will rain and it is going to rain are completely neutral; no value judgements, no implications about intentions.
What are the exact reasons why I will fail this test and I am going to fail this test both say nothing about the speaker’s interests or intentions?
If the audio speaker is reiterating on his/her own/author’s part and the sound is perceived as being very powerful, this holds true even for actions which he/she could conceivably intend to perform. I’ll go to the store after this show ends didn’t necessarily imply anything about the speaker’s ambition. I have to go to a coffee shop when that is all there is. On the other hand, either sentence could be either excited to go to the store or forced to go to the store by someone else.
Wherein the future tense is a way to make a promise. I will try my hardest and I am never going to stop are often said to assure the listener of our intentions. When the past is used to indicate a promise rather than a prediction, the future tense states things about our intention. Will be using both form for making promise, so there’s no different there, either.

Asked on February 27, 2021 in Other.
As a garden variety, “Would You Of” is malapropism. Wikipedia is – Malapropism.
Some more interesting malapropisms are “tantrum bicycle” instead of tandem bicycle, “Alcoholics Unanimous” instead of Alcoholics Anonymous, “a vast suppository of information” instead of repository of information, “Miss-Marple-ism” instead of malapropism1 and Mike Tyson’s “I might fade into Bolivian” instead of oblivion, all borrowed from that same Wikipedia article.
Is it true that no one has the perfect knowledge of any language, not even those they speak? How can one learn something new without repeating something?
We know that English speakers frequently contract “would have” into “would’ve.” How does the expression “wouldof” compare to “would of” so the mistake is easy to make.
1 This one seems too perfect to be a complete mistake. This is because Miss sounds so much more non-Gaming than “Malapropism” and, I have to ask Wikimedia to create a link to Wikipedia if I didn’t know the answer existed. It seems unlikely that the supposed speaker of “Miss-Marple-ism” wasn’t aware, at least subconsciously, of the correct word, or at least its origins. Why is this neologism called an eggcorn?
