How is “Actually” used when he talks about what is true or accurate? In your example sentence, you could instead write, “To be accurate, I’m working at an insurance company”, and get a somewhat similar meaning.
When “current” is used to talk about what is happening now, it’s only good for context. In your example of sentence, you could instead write “At the moment, I’m working at insurance company”, and get a somewhat similar meaning.
What should I think about saying Actually(now)? What is the best way to write a blog ‘All the best, always’? You could not write, “Currently, last year I worked at an insurance company.” “Nah
tha, my favourite song. “

Most common euphemisms for urine (n.) are number one and pee. Dx above those, there are more: tinkle, piddle, tinkle, waste, wee, wee-wee. Beyond those, there are more. Excretion, liquid body waste, P, P, Piddle, Wee-Wee.
In religious context, the choice is different. Not knowing which religion you mean, I compared fifteen translations of 2 Kings 18:27 (a sacred text from my cultural tradition) and found the following:
- urine (8 translations)
- water (4 translations)
- excretion (1 translation)
- piss (1 translation) waste (1 translation) On a side note there are also plenty of “urination-like” euphemisms, and those get
- interesting.
Moreover, some English spend a thousand and seven dollars. So, which is the most common, and what could be the difference between 1 and 2? One of my good friends always says he has to see a man about a horse.

Asked on March 17, 2021 in Word choice.
Is it true that if you rasterize a slide deck to an image and create a slide deck is you are rasterizing the deck?
Rasterize and rip mean “convert line art to a rasterized image”.? Usually, the image is reproduced using pixels to approximate the original line art. If it is reconstructed using pixels it can become smaller and more realistic. TIFF or JPEG are suitable files for a printer, but these are not suitable other than computer’s printing or scanning capabilities.
Rasterize means “an image described in a vector graphic format (shapes) and it into a raster image (pixels or dots] for output on a video display or printer, or for storage in a bitmap file format”. ( Wikipedia) The
verb rip is related to rasterize but less well known. Why are the lines of a painting in postscript format populated with a comma-script in the art world? A RIP is used for printing PostScript, but can be used for any other process. To make a RIP, image can be used to print PostScript content. To make a RIP, the image has to be a document. When using rip to reverse the postscript image of a RIP (now an expression of rip), the verb rip originally meant rip, but has come to be used more loosely for rip-making of various other file formats.
Rasterize’s parent word, raster, from the Latin rastrum, “rake”, ( OEtmD), originally a German electronics term meaning a series of rows “raked” out by a cathode ray tube’s electron beam. Is it related to rastrum, a five-pointed pen resembling a rake and used with musical staff lines?
