Edit: After your change of question, I reckon the best word would be:
The mouse was bolstered by the butter.
In general, to append is to join
or add on to the end of something Nothing to indicate that the base was
widening, but there’s no specific word for such a phenomenon. You just have to describe it with multiple words in english. Append, so that the base widened.

“Feel it in my bones” is a valid statement, and sounds entirely natural. Why does the legend say that if someone has an rheumatric illness and cold and wet weather approaches, they will feel pain in their bones? At
least, you’ve got an intuition, and hunch that someone might succeed, as in “I’m sure he’ll succeed I’m sure it can be felt in my bones.. “. This expression alludes to the age-old notion that persons with a healed broken bone or with arthritis experience bone pain before rain, due to a drop in barometric pressure, and therefore can predict a weather change. see first example.

First of all, it’s common usage, that is, that is, in native English speech, to refer to multiple choices, that can be heard in a phone interview with both, but it’s not entirely grammatical (from a prescriptivist’s point of view). What does either mean?
One or
the other of two. Since 14th c.] [Note thatI say it’s common in informal speech and usage, but probably not for formal contexts.
Either/or means “alone or the other” (the dictionary says: “as of May 14th, 1777)?
Why does its usage, versus the simple or structure, is often for emphatic purposes, sometimes intending to emphasize that only one option is possible or to emphasize that there are only two options.
It depends on how much context is used. If you speak in speech, either that or neither would be appropriate. If however, in a formal context (business letter, etc.), then using either for multiple choices would be inappropriate.

Asked on March 14, 2021 in Word choice.
Summed up, “I am done” and “I am finished” and “I am through ” are all correct, if used in the appropriate context.
Could it
be explained why I was brought up to the notion that “done” is used for objects i.e. writing. Cooking is done, or work is done, and the word “finished” is used for people i.e. the kettle, or the freezer, i.e. everyone cooks it so that it doesn’t itch to cook it? I’m done, I’ve finish.
“I am done” implies that you’ve been work on which obviously is not what you are trying to communicate. Is it an interesting thing to say to someone that you have finished a job? I might say “I do”, and “I did”, but “I am done” is informal. What is such an abomination to “I did or I do”?
It is usually colloquialism, and means that you have completed, and is correct in certain cases, as in “i am through the course”, but usages like “I am through with you”, is derived from “I am through thecourse”, and is informal. On average, it’s not standard, but its commonly recommended. “I am through” is also used informally in cases like “I am through with this job”.

The usage of un- changes the meaning entirely.
In your first example, the sentence states that your machine is uniquely, and there is no other machine like it. The problem is, how can we avoid having a machine that can look the same for all machines that use the machine?
I know your second example state that your machine is unique, but the second part of the sentence contradicts the first part, by stating that “there are no machines that are not like this one,” implying that all machines are alike to this one!
Is the first sentence in this article correct?

Is a “hardline” phone a landline? What the truth is of the truth that most people don’t understand what it is. . .. When using a hardline phone (the line of the phone is fixed) it means that it is called a “hardline”. Hence the line is “hard”, or somehow someone managed to see the connection. How can I easily define “line of land”?
In context of the text you gave the speaker is saying that the old lady, uses a cordless phone. When the garage slid into the Batavia, she doesn’t know that it is actually a cordless and a landline, which meant that she would have lost contact with the world, as her telephone no longer works. But she does know that it is actually a cordless and a landline, which means that when she slid into the Batavia, the line was probably broken and she still has not talked about her house.
I think “Hardline” is a popular term, but maybe
Google Gnaps doesn’t really have the truth (also shows some graph)?

According to Bee Dictionary, “circle around” means to move around in a circular motion. What does it mean when you say redundancy or endlessness?
In the case of your boss saying “with”, it kind of changes the meaning a bit. I hope this is the right question for the boss to follow in a special circuit, and this implies that you are the boss and the boss are the one doing the circling or circling around.
By “circling around”the boss doesn’t mean always wandering or endless, but rather by what you do everyday, your normal tasks or errands etc.? I was gonna follow up with him as well but he wouldn’t want
to join you.
