After watching your vedios, I look closely on every word that I write, hear, or read. Why?
Why, “WHY”?
I would like to request the work “MUG”
Why does this word have at least three meanings? and are they related?
1) Someone’s face can be called a “mug” (mug shot) or he has an ugly mug.
2) A kind of cup: “mug” of coffee
3) To rob someone (attack with intent to steal for a person): Like the old man was “mugged” on the street for his watch.
Thanks,
