SO easy, but I don't think they teach it that easy way.



YES!! YES!! That's one of my pet peeves... can you tell?



One of mine is houses/homes. I often tell my students, "It's just a
house, until you make it a home." I wish the real estate people would
get it right.

You're right, Pam, but they're actually doing it on purpose to make the
houses more attractive to the buying public; calling it a home makes it
feel warmer and more personal. Actually, I don't care if they call mine
a little grass hut; just sell it for me! ;-)
