โ™ฅ๏ธ *WIND UP*

*Meaning:*

- If you wind up in a certain place or situation, you find yourself there by chance or because of unexpected events.

- To find yourself in an unexpected and usually unpleasant situation, especially as a result of what you do

*For example:*

*WIND UP*
- If the economy doesn't improve, more and more people could wind up jobless and homeless and living on the streets.

*WIND UP DOING SOMETHING*
- After missing the last train, we wound up staying the night in a hotel near the station.

- If he keeps doing stuff like that he's going to wind up in prison!

- You don't want to wind up homeless, do you?

โš ๏ธ *Note:* "wind" is pronounced as in "wind the clock", not as in "the wind blew"

โ™ฅ๏ธ *Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned*

*Possible interpretation:*
A woman rejected in love can be very angry and dangerous.

โš ๏ธ *Note:*

- hell (noun): (according to various religions) a place of suffering where bad people go after death
- hath (verb): [old English] has
- fury (noun): violent anger; (Fury) in Greek mythology a female spirit of punishment
- scorn (verb): to reject contemptuously

โš ๏ธ *Origin:*

This saying is based on lines from The Mourning Bride by William Congreve (1670-1729):
Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

โ™ฅ๏ธ *Cross the stream where it is shallowest*

โ™ฅ๏ธ *TOTAL*
_American and Australian English_

*Meaning:* to completely destroy, to wreck

*For example:*

โž–My son was in an accident last night, and thankfully he wasn't hurt. He totalled our car, though.

โž–Mandy's car was totalled when a huge tree fell on it in the hurricane.

โš ๏ธ *Variety:*
This slang term is typically used in American and Australian English but may be used in other varieties of English too.

โ€ข ๐’•๐’†๐’๐’†๐’ˆ๐’“๐’‚๐’Ž โ€ข : @learning_for_future
โ™ฅ๏ธ *OWN UP*

*1. To admit that you have done sth bad or embarrassing*

- Come on,own up. Who broke it?

- No one owned up to breaking the window

*2. To tell the truth or to admit that you are responsible for something*

- A young nurse looked at the two men and waited for one of them to own up.

- No one has owned up to stealing the money.
โ™ฅ๏ธ *APOSTROPHES*

*Example Mistake:*

- A womans hat was left on the bus.

- Two dogs use the dish. It is the dogsโ€™s dish.

โš ๏ธ *Tip:* Apostrophes indicate that a noun owns something.

There are no apostrophes in the first sentence, even though youโ€™re talking about the hat which is owned by the woman.

In the second sentence, there is more than one dog, but the apostrophe is not used correctly. Singular nouns will always add โ€˜s when youโ€™re indicating possession, even if the noun ends with โ€œs.โ€

Plural nouns that do not end in โ€œsโ€ also take an โ€˜s. However, plural nouns that end with โ€œsโ€ have an apostrophe added after the โ€œs.โ€

โš ๏ธ *Correction:*

- A womanโ€˜s hat was left on the bus.

- Two dogs use the dish. It is the dogsโ€™ dish.

โ™ฅ๏ธ *DATING UP* is scoring someone "better" than you. Dating down is typically apt when a man or woman dates someone else who is considered "not good enough" for them.

โ™ฅ๏ธ A *NEG* is a backhanded compliment, usually said by a man to a woman, to surprise and/or annoy her so she does a double take and tries to prove her value to the man.

โ€ข ๐’•๐’†๐’๐’†๐’ˆ๐’“๐’‚๐’Ž โ€ข : @learning_for_future
Here are some general rules which might help you choose which to use:๐Ÿ“ƒ
โœ๏ธWith an adjective, they can both mean 'more than normal' but especially is much more common. In informal English, you can use that. For example:
๐Ÿ“This vocabulary isn't especially/specially/that difficult.

โœ๏ธUse especially with a noun to mean 'particularly' (or 'more than other things'). It is usually used after a comma.
๐Ÿ“I love watching films, especially/particularly thrillers.

โœ๏ธUse specially to mean 'for this particular purpose'. It is often used with a passive verb structure.
๐Ÿ“These houses were specially built for small families.
๐Ÿ“It's Halloween, so I rented this horror film specially (for this occasion).

#Note: We don't usually use especially or specially at the start of a sentence. Instead, use in particular at the start of a second sentence to give a 'more than other things' example.
๐Ÿ“I love watching films. In particular, I really like horror films.
