If I were to say "I think that you should go" is that bad as compared to "I think you should go".
I seem to get points taken off my papers because I use "that" too much.
Another example is "It is appropriate that you complete this job" versus "It is appropriate you complete this job".
I a from Canada and did not seem to have a problem there with its use..so i'm wondering if this is an American thing.

Would you please tell me a word having meaning of 'on this occasion'?

The word is used in these contexts:
Last time, I sent you a letter;.......... (on this occasion/this time), I sent you a package.

The process usually takes only a week, but ..... (on this occasion/this time), the process took more than two weeks.

Thank you for your time and help!

I know 'on the horns of a dilemma' means faced with a decision involving equally unfavorable alternatives. How about 'grabbed the wrong horn of a dilemma'? Does that imply making a wrong decision and now 'on the horns of a dilemma'?

As an example:
"It all began with words of wind fluttering on butterfly's wing"
"And rustling leaves brushed with feathers whispering soft words in the wind"
I would like to know your personal opinion about this unique way of writing verses. Thanks

Can you tell me what 'c' stands for before a date such as c 1230? I'm using Murray's dictionary. I thought it might mean 'circa' or something, but it appears before some dates and not others, and some dates are sometimes preceded by the letter 'a'...?? Please explain if you've used this before as I'm looking at word etymologies so I need to be accurate in my reference. Also, if you know of any websites that explain these little abbreviations, it would really help!

The Daily Mail wrote 'pidgin'. Is that how one spells the word 'pigeon' when referring to someone that speaks their own version of English?

Hi,

Please have a look at the follwing sentences.

A request must contain the following information.
1 Reasons of the request

I am confused here. Should I use date or time ? what is the difference between these two words ?
According to a dictionary, the word "date" can mean a particular time in the past or in the future .

Thanks for your help !
