Shiva @innertalks God should have created out of thin air, but even that was created by him! Who initiated the process that keeps us guessing all the time and makes us run from pillar to post? Will we ever know? Life is momentary but how long is death and what...

Shiva That was not a loving act on the part of John's wife. She should have foreseen the effect of the "intruder" on John's delicate mental health especially as he was getting on in age. Talk of "the last straw that broke the camel's back".

Shiva A few become archaic and some have localised relevance. American English differ from British too both in usage and meanings. Pronunciation can also be tricky at times.
