Is this construct correct? “This one something…” I was trying to say that while posing as a news story, it is actually an advertising. |

Do you say “the lyrics of the song” or “the lyrics to the song”? And why? How would you add the name of the song to this form of the sentence? |

What's the meaning of “at 91 yen to the dollar”? Don't panic, Google is telling me it should be "about 1.26 dollar to the euro" right now. |

What's the meaning of the expression “give that tall drink you call yer husband a break”? Also, I think that the visual appeal of the person is the characteristic that the expression is trying to remark, not his height. Like in "The guy is attractive like a tall drink in the desert." But you shold not call a short person a tall drink, or it would sound like you are mocking him instead of complimenting him. |

What's the meaning of the expression “give that tall drink you call yer husband a break”? I think that in this case the speaker is adding the connotation that the husband is a better man than Suzy seems to realize. It's a compliment to him. |

What's the meaning of the expression “give that tall drink you call yer husband a break”? According to the Urban Dictionary: n. 1. A man or woman that is tall, gorgeous, and super delicious. Like on a hot day, a tall drink of water is absolutely appealing. 2. Old slang for a visually appealing man or woman. |

Do you say “the lyrics of the song” or “the lyrics to the song”? And why? (I'm asking because english is not my primary language and I don't really know what sounds awkward and what sounds right) |

Do you say “the lyrics of the song” or “the lyrics to the song”? And why? Thanks! Could you show an example of "to" indicating possession (other than "Lyrics to") instead of purpose? I was thinking of "fun time" = "time of fun" but not "time to fun" |

Why did Napoleon III coin the term “Latin America”? True, and North America was called "Anglo-Saxon America" for the same reason. The parts of the American continent colonized or historically controlled by Anglo-Saxon people, principally the USA and Canada. |
