Have you ever seen on You Tube some sort of mechanical contraption play music, an "animusic" substitute for a whole orchestra?

"Another day, another dollar" is a well-known phrase referring to the daily grind experienced by employees with low-income jobs.

Has anyone ever wondered why the terms blue-collar worker to describe labourers and working-class people and white-collar workers to describe professional office workers and the history of these terms?

Working class men often wore blue overalls, in trades, or heavy & manufacturing industries, whilst white collar workers in offices, tended to wear white business shirts & ties. from the beginning of the 20th century almost to the present.

Regardless of its frequent usage in some circles, "irregardless" is not a proper word in English, just a tautological version of "regardless" (probably arising from confusion with "irrespective"). Eyebrow

Regardless of how much we may dislike the word "irregardless," it is attested in the English language, so major dictionaries do consider it to be a word.

It is a good idea to check that any new words are attested in a good dictionary, when even in England, itself, there are several different dialects

Are there any differences in dialects spoken in the various countries in the Chronicles of Narnia?

The number of countries in the world appears to be a debatable subject - according to one source, there may be between 193 and 197, although some of them are not accepted by all as a "country". Nerd

It is debatable whether or not we'd ever notice these countries still exist when it is only the noisiest countries that attract World News for all the wrong reasons
