The longer we continue in sin, the more difficult it is to reform.

These are two examples I found online - I think it's one of those things where it's easier to recognise than to define!

I would love to say,"ah yes, I can see it now", but I can not!
I shall sleep on it and maybe the new day will bring enlightenment!

Jazzgirl, there is a very faint light at he back of my addled brain which is sort of grasping what you say about "how much" and "the".
But it aint easy!
I have not looked at my profile on AnswerBank.
I preferred the old site, but it is still being tweaked by Mr Ed, so I'll give it a bit longer!

Read that again and I think you will understand what he is saying?
He has given good examples.
I am following him!
I have just had an unexpected phone call from a friend who is supposed to be in Majorca!
She is back in the UK and coming to visit me tomorrow!
A nice surprise!

Hello, Elle!
It is not easy to grasp for me, though.
I think I am just thick!
Bradford's just baffled me and Chambers did not help.
I think (not sure) that "the" is French for tea, too.
Wonder why your friend is not in Majorca?
No "ladies who lunch" tomorrow?
Have you explored the Eurosport player yet?
Why not Google it and see what the reviews say about it?
I am back on my Hudl.
Samsung tablet is not up to much.
May do a factory reset on it tomorrow.
