Word Watch – “I Don’t Wanna Brag” – Brag [v.]

I'm starting a new category of posts today called 'word watch', where I look at a word and how it's being used. In particular, the idea is to look at those which are used in spoken English or in songs but which don't seem to be given much attention in the main dictionaries (I'll also go back to the Get Into English archives and update any posts where I've focussed on one … [Read more...] about Word Watch – “I Don’t Wanna Brag” – Brag [v.]

It's been a while since I wrote a '151 Words' column, so I thought today could be a nice time to write a shorter post: I get quite a lot of requests from people who want to connect with me on LinkedIn, and you probably do too. However, many of them are from people who I don't know and often times I can see they're not in education or teaching. They don't seem to be looking … [Read more...] about 151 Words On How To Be Different On LinkedIn
