    And these the same? He was very suspicious. / He was acting very suspicious. no, they are not. He was very suspicious. -basically means he was a very suspicious person. he might be suspicious about everything happened around him, either to people around or things. He was acting very suspicious.-this depends on the context. it could just be "at certain moment, he was suspicious about something and even acting weirdly because of his doubt". but that doesn't mean he's a suspicious person. hope that clarifies things for you.

    If 50 million people says something foolish, it is still foolish. what does "it" refer to? If 50 million people says something foolish, it is still foolish. this is a famous quote by W. Somerset Maugham. basically, it means that even the majority claimed sth. you should still give it a second thought to see if it's really true as people claimed it to be. the thing is, i can't get this meaning simply by this quote cos it's just one sentence so i wanna know what does "it" here refers to and why people render this sentence the explanation i just mentioned above. thx a lot!

    the pronunciation between marry & merry we all know that "man & men" have different pronunciations, which put into phonetic symbols would be like [mæn]&[men]. But yesterday, i saw a post which was posted by an American guy, he said that Mary marry & merry share the same pronunciation. the post is quite interesting but the thing is, marry and merry, their pronunciation is not identical, which if we put it into phonetic symbol would be like ['mærɪ] & ['merɪ], right? That's what i get by checking the dictionary for Chinese learners. And when i listened to the pronunciation of the words in Marriam-Webster dic., the three words sound the same but then i checked them out in Longman Dic., they sound differnent in British accent. i'm really confused about this. pls help me out. thank you.
