I need a rewording for a CV on a phrase to show that I can "get a job done without having to be babied through each step".

It needs to be short and concise and I've been staring blank at the screen for the past 20 minutes.

I'm normally reasonably good at these, but I can't get this one:


Cupboard key? (6)


Any ideas? The word 'key' in a cryptic clue can often refer to a musical key (eg the letter A, B, C, D, E, F or G) but I still have no idea.

I'm just confused the difference between in the street and on the street. Or there is no difference?
If there is, how I can use them correctly?

The word "Lady" sounds so gentle and impresses an image of purity and unblemished beauty in mind.

Now, the word "gentleman" does not evoke any such mental picture. It brings up an adjective, a certain quality and nothing more ... and therefore creates more of a vacuum in trend of thought rather than fill in for a special meaning to create understanding ... is this thought in line ... or derailed and daft?!

I would like to ask if native speakers of English use "in another word" to substitute for the phrase "in other words?" For example, he works from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day. In other words, he works very hard every day. Can people say "in another word, he works very hard every day?"

I am not a native speaker of English. I would like to know if "in another word" has the same meaning as "in other words?"

Thanks for your help.

Why not just say Nazi or Clasical (etc.)? What purpose does this word use? Is it to denote a more recent time? Or what?
