You can think of your thumb as a measuring tool.<br> <br>I like capturing complex ideas and exhibiting them in a simple way. Languages can be mathematical, meaning that once you have mastered that grammar point, you can pretty much just figure out the right form for a similar given context. Then there are idioms, like the one above, which, by their own definition, don't play by the rules (another idomatic expression‎). <br> <br>Is there something that you would like to express in an English idiom?<br> <br>Request a free 20-second takeaway. Please contact me. I will post one for you.<br></p>
