Origin of the word “yummy” yumyumyumyum sounds close enough to nomnomnomnom (frame of reference: animal sounds in other languages). Maybe the next generation of "yummy" will be "nommy". |

why is “their” the wrong usage in this sentence? "Family" can be treated as a singular noun, or plural implicitly as "the members of the family". Related question: english.stackexchange.com/questions/3288/is-staff-plural |

One word for a “very tough task” Wait are you looking for a word to replace "tough" in your example sentence, or are you looking for a word for "very tough task"? They are completely different... |

Usage of the expression “go they went” If this is actually what they said, sounds similar to the structure of "...and eat they did!" |

What exactly does the phrase “pass a week” mean? @Jim yes "Pass the time" is common, but the "leads to" logic does not really work in linguistics. |

What exactly does the phrase “pass a week” mean? Edited; is this really used in common speech? I have never heard it in the midwest or west coast. In Brussels I only hear it from non-native English speakers. I wonder if it's a slightly theatrical tint which often borrows nuances from French. |

What exactly does the phrase “pass a week” mean? I can't recall this wording being used by a native English speaker before. Could be regional? |
