Hello Gideon. Thank you very much for your video on binomials❤. It's as wonderful as always. I kept looking for the description box and there it is. Would be great if you could pin it right in the top. Anyway, I have been enjoying your videos so much, and I've learned a lot through watching them. So, I've just gladly purchased the mp3 and the pdf to support your channel as I've benefited from your videos a lot. I will leave a comment once I complete my learning. Wishing you a good night.

As a native (North American) english speaker, I enjoy this channel immensely. "Bound" can also be used to indicate a journey, as in "headed for", either literally or figuratively. "I'm bound for California". " He was bound for glory". She was raised in a good home but was bound for trouble from the start". This usage is a bit archaic in the literal form but not the figuratve - I guess it was bound to happen...

@@LetThemTalkTV Hi Gideon. (Great name by the way. I have a grandson by that name!!) Here is another trinomial for you that is similar to "lock, stock, and barrel," which has a similar meaning but is used in a different context -- "hook, line, and sinker." It still carries the connotation of 'all, everything" but is used more in the context of something spoken, such as, "I fabricated a story to hide my responsibility for the loss of the contract and the boss took it hook, line and sinker." It is most often used with telling stories, lies, and deceptions. Have a great day!! Love your videos!!

@@LetThemTalkTV interestingly, the spelling of the Dutch version is 'Spic en span' - the c in spic is a bit surprising to me. I wonder if this is an indicator for the origin. It's supposed to be a certain kind of nail which was used in Shipbuilding. But those are elsewhere referred to as spik with a k.

My physics teacher unintentionally got the whole class laughing by saying (in Dutch) "zeker en vast" instead of "vast en zeker" (= most certainly). Later I realised that "zeker en vast" is standard Flemish, whereas "vast en zeker" is standard Dutch. In my family there are two sets of twins. Their names are always pronounced in the same order, and it would be really strange to reverse them. I suppose this a universal phenomenon.

"Right as rain" is not used here in North America. It would be understood here, but more like "an accent". A couple pet peeves of mine are: • using "I" when "me" would be grammatically correct. Example "... to my sister and I" • "only" and "just" placed before the verb rather than after. Example "I only ran to the store" vs. "I ran only to the store". The first one precludes any action other than "running". The second one specifies that the store was the only place I traveled to.
