    Hi Pineapple To add to Randy's answer - to 'disarm' would originally mean to remove someone's arms, or weapons. So to disarm implies to leave someone defenceless. In this sentence, disarm is used to mean to shock or surprise, to provide an unexpected reaction. Hence the 'fine line' - you must be careful, or your humour could be found offensive. There is a fine line between humour and insult. 'Bawdy' for one person could be funny, for another person rude and unacceptable. Lucas' art can be amusing or unexpectedly shocking.

    Hi there Weakest to strongest - I hate it - I loathe it - I can't stand it! Disdain is slightly different - it shows contempt, 'looking down on it', disrespect as Michael says - so you wouldn't use it in the same way. I hate broccoli I loathe bananas I can't stand seafood I HAVE disdain for people who lie

    Hi Ivan Present simple in English implies recurrent or ongoing situations, whereas will - future simple - implies a single action. So 'when you find something new' already implies 'every time you find something new'. You can't really use 'will' here, it won't sound very natural to a native speaker.

    Hi Niwantha Also can really be placed wherever you like, it will be understood: Also, she might come She, also, might come She might also come She might come also Where you place it depends on where you want the emphasis - but it not is not a very 'natural' phrase. Much more common would be 'too' or 'as well': I will come. She might come too. I will come. She might come as well. These are much more natural sentences.

    Hi Hsing, pretty good sentences, just a few small errors with prepositions and spellings. This dish smells GOOD but I'm FULL up. I can't eat ANY MORE. ( Anyone is a person! ) The car doesn't have petrol. We have to fill IT up. ( Use the pronoun to avoid repetition, it sounds more natural ) I'm specialized in this field. But THAT field is totally another story. ( Don't need 'in' without the verb ) You are already behind schedule. You have to think how to catch up. ( Don't need the article with schedule, as it is a concept ) I have received your mail, but I haven't had time to catch up WITH the problem yet. ( 'Catch up' needs the preposition 'with' ) Please give me some time. I'll GET BACK TO YOU as soon as possible. ( 'Get back to you' = reply, 'Get you back' = get my revenge! ) Very good natural-sounding sentences though, well done!

    Hi Lawrence, yes, you're correct. 'Pantsuit' is an American term, where 'pants' mean slacks - or 'trousers' in British English. So a woman's suit would be a matching skirt and jacket, and a pantsuit would be one with pants / slacks. A man's suit would just be a suit, as they will always wear pants. Be careful with the difference between American and British English, however, as in the UK 'pants' are underwear!

    Hi Sara, yes, you're correct. In this sentence 'access' needs the preposition 'to'. It should read 'they have no access to safe and effective vaccines' - it doesn't need the article 'the'.
