    I wouldn't say it's slang but it's a bit of an incomplete thought. The second person using 'you' in a general context. So the first person obviously did something or said something that reminded the second person of a story they had heard. The second person is giving a reason for being scared, which is that they'd heard scary stories about things happening to people. Without more context it's a bit difficult to explain more. Hope that helps, Andrew

    Depending on that context to be 'around' something is that you have experience or have been working in that situation for a long time. "How long has Dave worked here?"---"He's been around a while, like 8 years." Also, someone who's been 'around' in a general context is someone who's done a lot, seen a lot, and lived a full life. Hope that helps, Andrew

    Both work in this context but I would say the 'more' correct answer is the first one. -'To be going' is used to ask about intentions to do something -'Will' for decisions made in that moment. I believe the question is asking if the person has intentions of going to the stationer's but without more context it could be either. Hope that helps, Andrew

    You're right. To 'turn to' means to look at, or investigate or, in this case, to use as evidence to support something. It has other meanings in different contexts as well though. Hope that helps, Andrew

    This site give you some good pictures with the differences: http://www.homedit.com/difference-between-a-terrace-and-a-balcony-in-modern-times/ In summary, the main differences are that terraces are much bigger and usually not covered. Whereas a balcony is normally an extension of a room. Hint* If all that fits on it is a table from ikea, it's probably a balcony Hope that helps, Andrew

    All it's saying is that climbers today would never use the tools or equipment they used in the past because they were unsafe, inadequate or untrustworthy.

    For me, it would be by context. If you said 'my stomach hurts' than i know it's the inside. If you say 'there's a mark on my stomach' it has to be the outside. I can't think of an example that could be used for both...

    As you said, 'which' would be technically correct but people would understand you if you said 'what' and not think twice about it.

    I would say the conceptual duality the paragraph is talking about is the duality of having imaginative and surreal vistas in one painting. Although what your referring to is a duality, I dont think it's what the paragraph is expressing. Hope that helps, Andrew
