I am trying to see the exact example. I can check from dictionary but I guess a example picture can be the best. Especially, I want to check the difference between the scarlet and mauve.

Thank you!

If you walk into a business office and everyone is either in a three-piece suit or a dress, you are seeing / in action.

Which is the correct one, does a three-piece suit and a dress conform?

Sorry for my bad English...

Given the relative levels of violence, wouldn't "Getting Biblical" be more appropriate?

I've always heard people say that, but never understood the meaning.

I am an English learner and do not understand what does the phrase “I didn’t think so” mean in the following context (my suggestion is that it means either a) "That’s what I thought" or b) "Sorry, I didn’t mean it." Which is right or did I get it all wrong? Please help!)

"Henry and Janet come out of the woods, a few rabbits slung over their shoulders. Neither is speaking to the other. Janet snatches Henry’s catch from him when they get near the fire.
Now it’s Henry’s turn to give her a dirty look.
Janet, 'Do you know how to skin them, asshole?'
His face says no.
Janet, 'I didn’t think so.'
Henry walks off."

Where did that phrase come from?

Words like "definition," "crabcake," and "worst" all have three consecutive letters that are also consecutive in the English alphabet (def, abc, and rst resp.). My question: are there any words with four?

Here's a one-syllable example of an LMNOP:

lox
mocks
nocks (those little notches in arrows)
ox
pox

The challenge is to find one that works this way in English with 2 syllables (and there is one--at least one!).

**I am NOT referring to kids, people who are learning English as a second language, or people who never went to school (or were there in body only).

For instance:
'The object'...should be pronounced THEE object--not THUH object
'The attendance'----thee, not THUH
The 'importance'---thee, not THUH
'The umbrella'----thee, not THUH
'The envelope'----thee, not THUH
they are pronouncing it THUH--even on TV and in movies. I never heard so much of this until very recently.

See, it is annoying! I hate it, it annoys me so much. And for some reason, it is always the sort of people who read the Mail or Express, those who thinks common nouns like 'thugs' and 'prisoners' and 'immigrants' should have capital letters.
