I will add to this when I have more time. I am wanting to connect with Italian speakers to learn from. Age is not important as long as you are patient [emoji][emoji]. I am a native English speaker, and am advanced in the language. I hold a Bachelor degree in Law, so my understanding of nuances in English is excellent. I am happy to help you learn English too.

    It's a negative comment. It is saying something like, the person took little into account and did not look at at the effect of his want to achieve his goal.

    The difference is purely contextual, something can be both small and tiny. Tiny will often import the idea it is unusually small, into the meaning. However, they do not describe specific sizes on thier own.

    Here it is just use, you could say, 'I have the opposite view', conversely, 'the house and shop are on opposing sides of the road'. Technically the former is poor English as -ing denotes an action, however you will see it used often, so I suppose it is accepted.

    To have a 'whip about' is usually attributed to asking multiple people for something. For example, 'I'll have a whip around and see how much money I can raise for Stephanie's present'.

    The phrase is incomplete and cannot properly be answered without further context i.e. What is coming? "Coming up" means in the future something will happen or arrive, but has not happened yet. So it is saying in the 80's (this could be, time, age, scoring or a unit of measure) not before, something will occur. More information would help to improve the quality of the answer.

    When I was at school I dreamed about writing books (poems or short stories). Literature was my passion. I wrote my poems in journals and all my relatives believed, that a could be a great writer. I always kept life diaries and wrote all about my school life. However, one day I read other poems on the internet and understood, that I have not got enough talent to be a writer. I forgot about writing from my youth. Now I am working in HR for a big company, but I still dream about this time and hope to write a book after I'm 50 years old.

    I'd be interested in what people say, but it is not really the same word without it. Where I come from it is pronounced but lacks emphasis.

    Totally means all inclusive. Absolutely means finally but can include, all inclusive.

    No worries, I was basing my comment on the premise of the sentence you gave, which could also be, 'I finally passed college'.  I assumed they were linked. 

    I also assumed, incorrectly, that either Oxford or Macquarie dictionary meanings applied. 

    In conventional English to drive past something means, to go around or move beyond without going through. 

    My bad, and I am sorry to add to confusion,  but these are interesting examples on the subtleties of the English language. Many subtle differences can be found in American, Australian, Canadian etc. english. 

    Thanks for the excellent response.
