    The use of the adjective rare suggests that it was not often that birds had the courage or audacity to tease the owl who was singing.

    After some time, an owl began to hoot. What was that he thought he was singing? As soon as he began, other birds replied, making rare game of him. Nearly all the children were born into English and could understand every word they sang at one point in time. Source:

    Collins Dictionary have

    a sense that/get a sense that If
    you have a sense that something is true or get a sense that something is true, you think that it is true.

    Do you
    have the feeling that you are loved by the public?
    I get a sense that people are feeling better about themselves.

    Thus “she sometimes gets the sense” means that she has a general sensation or understanding that books are somewhat magical. In the same way as a magician a novel can create reality through words without ever knowing in advance. When the author asks “Did I do something?” she is referring to the New York art fair with its surreal and gaudy works of art on display.

    Sometimes “place” can be a location or a facility, such as a hotel. Where is a place for me the way context makes it clear what this place is. Nothing more is needed.

    1. Send us photos of the place where you’re in.

    Sometimes the preposition changes if the place is a building, in which case:

    1. Send us pictures of the hotel where you’re staying. Send pictures of
    2. the city/town/seaside (or) mountain resort you’re in. The antiquated rule

    about not ending a sentence with a preposition is just that, antiquated and unnecessary. Why do people write at which

    1. hotel do you are staying?

    Why do

    1. you want to stay at the hotel you can?

    1. that one tweet, some of the most dedicated followers in India had determined which conference I was speaking at, and therefore at which hotel I would be staying.

    I believe the OP misheard the line quoted from the movie. Instead, the most likely and most common phrase said in movies where there are two men and a woman involved is the following

    Loser gets the girl

    There are three interpretations of this line. The first being that two bikers are making a bet, and the loser “wins” the girl. The girl in question, especially in comedies, is normally overweight, unattractive, and/or extremely vapid. The winner of the bet gets to go out with his/her bestfriend. She truly has all the characteristics of a beautiful person. She is very kind and considerate.

    The second interpretation is also a clichu00e8 in American movies, where the protagonist is defined as being a loser ; the man in question might be painfully shy, a nerd, a bit weird looking, an outsider, someone who is easily pushed around etc. At the end of the movie he and not his best friend or nemesis gets the girl. He does not like his best friends and gets the girl.

    TV tropes has this to say:

    Loser Gets the Girl
    Two men get into a fight a if not seriously charged violent physical confrontation, over a woman they are both attracted to. In nine films, the loser gets the girl again; yet another movie where the

    schlub gets the hot girl enters the history

    books. What are some trends that seems to be getting more and more mainstream, but this thing may not be new.

    What would you like to come up with?

    Is Tiffany’s the true Tiffany’s? The use of the apostrophe was often a trait or a type of hallmark for many local businesses and stores in the past, but it also served a purpose, the apostrophe informed its clients that the business, store, shop, bank, etc. The life they were seeing or entering was founded (and usually owned) to a person.

    Nonetheless nowadays, possibly dictated by the boom in e-commerce the tendency is to omit the apostrophe ” Of course, URLs don’t allow for apostrophe use, and consumers have become accustomed to the exclusion of such punctuation when seeking a business on the Web. From the Guardian,

    the following extract is taken from the English newspaper, The Guardian, from 2011.

    In Tesco’s defence, there never was a Mr Tesco, so a possessive apostrophe as in “Tesco’s” would be illogical. There were a Marks and a Spencer, but luckily for us they also decided not to cause confusion by using apostrophes, although you do have to employ the ampersand rather that “and” if you want to get Marks & Spencer (strictly, “marks & sparks”) into the right shape.

    Present participles are formed from verbs. They are usually used to form verb tenses. From this case they can be used with an auxiliary to form the present continuous tense: “We are dancing” or used as an adjective: “My daughter bought some dancing shoes”. With any shoes, the present participle is used to describe the type of shoes, the shoes themselves are not dancing. In fact, this type of participial is commonly called a participial adjective.

    When a participle is used as a noun, it is called a gerund. What are the best forms of exercise for girl to learn dancing? “When

    a participle is used as a subject in a sentence, it is acting like a noun.

    this context, it’s clear that present participle is being used as a verb.

    In Japan, a group of ten separate bus tickets are called carnet, but they have translated the expression as ten trips book of tickets.

    That’s a word that’s perfectly comprehensible, and I suppose that whoever translated the French term knew that many not UK English speaking people would be unfamiliar with the expression, carnet.

    I believe this solution is more elegant and self explanatory at the same time. If you could shorten it to multi-trip or ten-trip tickets, I think this solution is more elegant and self explanatory at the same time.
