    I guess you could use both for people 'He is a tough guy' would mean he is hard and maybe even dangerous (at least he acts that way) and more importantly hard to break or hurt. (you know, like when meat is tough, you can chew and chew...) 'He is a rough guy' would mean he has hard edges, but he still could be soft inside. An unshaven chin is rough, a doormat is rough. A rough guy can definitely hurt you, but he is not necessarily tough. hope this helps.

    from wikipedia: The relationship of the Japonic (or Japanese–Ryukyuan) languages to other languages and language families is controversial. There are numerous hypotheses, none of which are generally accepted. also: Linguists traditionally consider the Japonic languages to belong to an independent family. furthermore: a Japonic–Korean grouping is widely considered plausible. Independent of the question of a Japonic–Korean connection, both the Japonic languages and Korean were often included in the largely discredited Altaic family.

    Humans are adaptable creatures. They adapt to anything. 'habitable' would mean, humans can be lived in (by bacteria I suppose ;->)

    I do research for my thesis. The thesis is about cats. So I do research about cats.

    acknowledge is more like 'concede'. But the difference can be quite subtle. If you tell me I did not do a very good job on something and I agree, I can acknowledge that fact. Yes you are right, I didn't do it correctly. If I recognize it, it means that I can see your point, but it does not necessarily mean that I agree with you. I can feel your pain or disappointment, though.

    Please add some context. 'just out' can mean you just left the house or you were just knocked unconsious. Marjon

    Hi Strangely enough it ís 'I (have) watched you' but not 'I have listened you' It should be 'I (have) listened to you with admiration'

    If you 'make something count' you make sure that it is effective, that it does what it should be doing. So if you want 'to make each day count', you have to make sure that you do something every day to reach your goal.

    I think they are mostly interchangeable. But 'I used to' is used more when the thing that was done then, is not done anymore. The difference however is extremely subtle, so maybe I am imagining things.
