Weiss is going to become a Ninja of hand-calling.
When two nouns are connected by “or”, the adjective that follows refers to the noun closest.
“Different than”, not “Different from”.
Exfoliate- Pore cleansing
Defoliate- Leaf remova
Materiel- French term refering to war technology.
One and the same- idiomatic expression meaning two things that are equal.
Subjunctive- Also known as the counter-factual, the subjunctive is used if there is a doubt.
e.g. If I were rich, I would have a lot of money. However, I am not.
If there once was doubt, but the doubt has been removed, it would revert to the past.
e.g. If I was broke before the promotion, I’m most certainly not now.
If there was a typo, it’s already been fixed.
Use whoever as a subject and whomever as the object. However, if a sentence need both a subject and an object, the subject takes precedent.
