Hello Everybody,
I am opening this thread for mercenary ends, the intention is to expand my vocabulary.
I will post new words or phrases every day and you will (only if you want to and please do not be lazy), compose simple to understand sentences or collocations in which you will use only the widest meanings. I will not post more than one to three words per day. Okay?
It will be very useful (informative) for me and I hope, easy for you ;)
BTW, I'll place in the title a learning word.

The first word is issue

Big Issue, Big Issue!
These are the words uttered by some people outside shopping centres.

but why do they utter that?
Perhaps, they are afraid to waste a lot of money when they will have gone in?
 
Is this going to be in the next issue of the newsletter?
issue = edition of a magazine. ie The June issue of Practical pornographer. (Big Issue is a pun)

Are you issuing instructions?
issue = publish, give.

also issue = that which is emitted, a discharge. Can mean pus etc or can also refer to children.

The family line died out when the 3rd Lord died without issue.

it is as clear as noonday, now. Thanks Mark
extra question: Does Practical pornographer magazine really exist? :shrug:
 
Years ago I know someone who applied for a job with one of the photo magazines and addressed the application to Amateur Pornographer. He didnt get the job.

A number of the magazines seemed to concentrate on glamour shots for beginners hence the label

Try Practical Photographer - although the other may exist I do not know as I do not look at the top shelf. (Top shelf - place where mens' magazines are usually kept, above the eye line unless you are deliberately looking for them and known as "top shelf magazines" )

very, very clear.
It's for you, Christine

So Issue can be

An edition of a regular publication. (in next months issue of the magazine)
Something which comes out of something else. (the general issued the order)
A problem (this is an issue that we have to deal with)
 
The Issue editor had a serious issue with his issue.The issue with his issue was that the Issue had a major issue regarding the quality of the issue writing.The Issue editor decided that in the future he wanted no more issues concerning Issue writing standards in future issues of the Issue.
Hope this helps resolve your issues re-issue.

I've understood it at the second push;)
We have the same things in Russian.
For example: Косил косой косой косой с косой.
(be attentive, all word are almost the same)
Косил - to mown down
косой - curve (adj)
косой - a scythe
косой - a cross-eyed
с - with
косой - plait
The cross-eyed with a plait mown down by the curve scythe
 
She has green eyes. I think they are her most striking feature.

Due to her increasing recognition as an actress, Movie Magazine devoted a feature to her past and future roles.

in the first paragraph feature means a main part, doesn't it?
in the second - the part of the issue. Yes?
 
Any part of the face is called a feature.

When used as part of a magazine, software or other product, it's a significant aspect.
 
my comprehension:
1. She had beautiful features (facial characteristic)
2. The basic feature of a computer is a mainboard.
Was I clear?
 
Now the special feature for the feature editor of Feature magazine was features.He hoped to feature features that would make a terrific feature in Feature.Features would feature hugely in the feature feature in Feature this month.
Pete. :D

I would also say feature = attribute, characteristic.

But yes, feature film etc.
 
Thanks for the previous explanations!
Now,
word #3 is at loggerheads
:gag:
 
If two people (or more) are at loggerheads they cannot agree on something.

Ricky and Simon were at loggerheads over who were the btter team at rugby, Leicester or Sale

when the answer is obviously Leicester ;)
 
Just do not agree, are a hate or a fury possibly to use?:shrug:

No not really, you don't necessarily hate someone just because you don't agree with them
fury is rage or strong anger

being at loggerheads is just a disagreement that neither side will concede
ie back down or give in
 
Chris, you are a good teacher!
I and Chris were at loggerheads after viewing Russell's pictures. Now, Russell can't post his images (cos he is in China) and we don't have any argument of his works.
Clear?
BTW, I always get confused with using job and work...

"about his work" would be more accurate Oleg :thumbs:
"he works as a pest controler" ( Someone else would say)
" I have a job" ( I would say)
"I work as a pest controler" (I would say)
I hope that makes things a little clearer?

Chris and I is the correct grammar BTW :thumbs:

 
Female version of a Monk:lol:
 
none = nothing, not one, ie zero/ nothing/nada/zilch

How many apples do you have? none.

None of them will stand their round.

etc
 
who? said:

Is NONE equal NOBODY, NO ONE?
May I say so, for example:
Nobody of them will stand their round.

That doesn't quite work elektro

Nobody will stand their round ( that is, not a single person)

None of them will stand their round ( as in a group of people, without singling any one out, in particular)
 
So NONE is the plural analog of NOBODY, isn't it?
 
To be honest I have never thought about it that way but I guess
That in some circumstances that would be correct.

BUT if you eat all the sweets in the jar you have none left
or if someone else eats all your sweets you still have "none left"

I hope that helps
