    I have some dubts [ doubts] about these fhrases [phrases] Are all of them correct?

    Neither man admitted burgling the flat.
    Both man [men] admitted burgling the flat.

    Neither [... of the ...] suspects denied being in the área.
    Both suspects denied being in the área.

    I've enjoyed each [every] holiday I've ever been on. 
    I've enjoyed every holiday I've ever been on.

    Coffe or tea? I don't mind - I'll have either
    Coffe or tea? I don't mind - I'll have neither [either] or I dislike both of them, I'll have neither.
    ** ( I know 'either' is used in negatives phrases and 'neither' in positive [wrong way round!] but, in this specific case, which one is the reference ? "I don't mind" which is negative or "I'll have" which is positive?)

    What chaos!.
    It is chaotic for me!.

    What about the word "set"? Have you looked at how many meanings that word has? Set aside some time to see how many sets of phrases there are and come back and set the record straight. Ready, set, go!

    In U.K. english "average " can also by a bit of an insult. For example if you were asked to describe how good looking someone was and you said "average " well that is a bit insulting really. If some one said you were just average you would not be too pleased!

    Generally speaking in a situation like this the apostrophe (') replaces the word "would". I can't think of an instance where you would use an apostrophe to replace "should".

    Do Spanish people "give" in the same way English people do? In English we can say I washed the car or I gave the car a wash. I kissed her or I gave her a kiss. Would you use "to give" in this way in Spanish? Di un lavado al coche, Le di un beso. Does this sound right? Is there a rule for changing a verb to a noun? Besar >> beso, lavar>> lavado.

    Thank you for your answers. I can see why they changed it in the film! (Great video, by the way!). But doesn't "mono" also mean "monkey"?

    as cute as can be I often hear song lyrics and wonder how that would translate in to Spanish. Today a line from Summer Nights as sung by Olivia Newton John has got me thinking. "met a boy, cute as can be" For the purpose of the question, how to translate "as cute as can be" I translate this as "tan lindo como puedes ser" 1. are tan and como the right words? 2. is lindo correct for cute? 3. does it sound right in Spanish "puedes ser" does not seem right. Would a Spanish person talk this way?

    1. It is up for. Assuming it is conversational speech asking friends if they want particulate. If there was a list of names already and you were asking who is on the list then it would be down (on the list) to go. 2. Use nor in both, the first is better English. 3. Even I am struggling to understand that paragraph !

    A stable job means you will always have work, the opposite being a seasonal job at a beach in summer. A steady job is similar meaning, there is always work in this profession. A permanent job is the opposite to a temporary job, temporary would be required for a short time permanent is all the time. None of these is a job you can't be fired from. That might be "a job for life".
