Something that I never understand: damp and moist :) Can you help me to understand this difference, please? Thank you, Gian

digitalization or digitization ? In a job vacancy I found "support for all technological-related and digitalization projects". But writing with my Microsoft Word, it says "digitalization" is a mistake. I think my Word isn't up-to-date, but this fact suggested me to ask here a question. Do digitalization and digitization have the same meaning ? Is one of them not correct? Thank you! Gian

Big problem: people's age or centuries? Hello!!! I have a problem... when I've read the sentence "into their 70s", I thought it meant the years between 1970 to 1979, but actually it was referred to the age of people, from 70 to 79 years. I understand that when I say "in the 70s" it can be referred to 1970s or 1870s or 1570s... depending from the context. But how can I understand we are talking about people's age? Very complicated :D Thank you very much!!! :-)

Spree and its meanings Could you provide me some examples of the different uses of the term "spree", please? For example, I already know "killing spree", "buying spree", "shopping spree"... But if it isn't a compound noun, can I say "We have a spree because we want to finish our work as soon as possible" ? And if i say "I have a shopping spree", does it mean it is only that moment (I see many things in a shop and I want to buy all, that moment) or it is my character? Or both, probably? Sorry for the many questions :) Hope someone can put in order my mind :) :) :) Thanks very much!

When would you use help or help out? ^^ Are them totally interchangeable? thanks very much :-) :-) :-)

Can you give me an example when "practice" means a place? (Not a training) It sounds for me difficult to use practice as a place, maybe as an office, because I always use this term with the meaning of "training" or "exercise". I appreciate very much if you can provide me some examples. Do you use this word in this way?

"It would be great for me" or "It would be great to me" ? "It would be great for me" or "It would be great to me" ? And why? Thanks
