    This is slang, specific to the UK I believe. Certainly quite a common turn of phrase in the part of England that İ come from (the south east). Here it is rewritten with synonyms that have the same meaning: - He just liked to get drunk/high/wasted/mashed every now and then. What’s wrong with that? Whether or not it is critical depends on the context in which it is used, as it could be positive, neutral, or negative.

    It's a difficult sentence without a bit more context, but it seems like he is talking about raising children or looking after children. In which case I would take it to mean that people with an agreeable nature are more likely to be taken advantage of by children, or even by other adults. exploited by infants = taken advantage of by children.

    It's a common expression where I come from, and also a pretty common situation as most people are skint (have no money) most of the time. There wasn't a lot of money growing up and my family lived (from) hand to mouth. I can't find enough work these days. I'm always one week's wage away from catastrophe, I'm so fed up with living (from) hand to mouth. I've been living (from) hand to mouth for a year now, nothing ever gets better. We often drop the 'from' in conversation as the meaning is clear without it.

    No difference whatsoever, a canteen and a cafeteria are synonymous. Although canteen can also mean a flask or container for water, however, I imagine that would be obvious from the context.

    It's more common to say "I'm sorry I'm late". "I'm sorry to be late" is grammatically correct but sounds a bit clunky and old-fashioned.

    I think we can protect the environment starting by stopping to buy food wrapped in plastic, or with unnecessary packaging, etc. I've been living in Tokyo for quite a long time and I always think most of the products are over-wrapped. A well-wrapped item looks beautiful and well-presented for sure but I think it’s really unnecessary.

    'He is 15 years old' is the correct sentence. To use '15 year old' you'd have to change the sentence structure. For example: He is a 15 year old piano player. I have a 15 year old cat (my cat is 15 years old).

    You have a point of view about a thing or things Other people also have a point of view. For example. 'In my point of view, I don't know why we are doing this.' 'It's my point of view that we should be working harder.' 'It's their point of view, It's not mine.' Hope that helps 😃

    Surely we can't pay for all the things our mothers do for us in an entire lifetime, but we can extoll the deeds of our mothers. Hope that helps :)

    Hello. 1. Your description on what happens when a check bounces is exactly right. If you write a check and it bounces because you don't have enough funds in your account to cover it, your bank charges you a penalty fee. 2. A direct debit is similar to a standing order. It is an agreement you have set up to pay a specific monthly amount, this is commonly used to pay bills and subscriptions (gas, electric, Netflix etc..) it isn't necessarily for something that has been bought on tick.
