    Luca, Business sentences are not my in my area of expertise, but I am an educated, native speaker. Unfortunately, business academics have a liking for this sort of inpenetrable, jargon filled English It is their deluded way of showing off how how clever, they are. I have have only a vague understanding of the meaning. Maybe someone else can help. In any case don't mimic this sort of writing. Best wishes, Peter

    Hi, Getting stuck when speaking another language usually means being at a loss for words. So you may look the missing word up in a dictionary or work around the problem. Getting stuck in your own language could be a very different thing, and might be due to stage fright, or just being surprised by a question.

    I agree with Gary that is sounds unnatural. A better way would be to say "More than £350,000..." or "Upwards of £350,000..." But as others have pointed out, this is the intended meaning, I think.

    Hi, The two phrases have different meanings. The first refers to "common hobbies". In English this usually means hobbies commonly done. For instance, cycling is a common hobby. Having hobbies in common, on the other hand, usually means sharing an interest in similar hobbies. The word "common" can also have a derogatory meaning. Check a dictionary, if in doubt.

    Reena, When we use the expression "once in a blue moon" what we mean is "very rarely".For example, I might say: "I go to the movies once in a blue moon" That is, not very frequently. A blue moon is the name given to second full moon of the Calendar month. Peter
