I do also believe that clichés originate from colloquial language and add a richness to writing in any chosen language. However, there is a thin line to tread between enriching a manuscript with clichés and<br />burdening it with, as you so cleverly put it, 'threadbare language'.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05059957468044601830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-83408868086470591382013-06-23T18:36:34.785+01:002013-06-23T18:36:34.785+01:00The new prompt is up Dave its a free share so anyt...The new prompt is up Dave its a free share so anything goes old or newAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-73960405105896649992013-06-23T00:51:42.636+01:002013-06-23T00:51:42.636+01:00Dave, are you OK?Dave, are you OK?Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-21345384377565005172013-06-23T00:37:54.812+01:002013-06-23T00:37:54.812+01:00Me ha gustado mucho tu entrada.

It's all that blue-sky thinking that we do at the school where I work to make sure we give 100% to stretch students. Not just curriculum-wise, mind you, but also extra-curriculum because at the end of the day it's not just what you learn in the classroom that counts but also what you pick up all over the place. :-)<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-49536527710337463512013-06-20T15:53:31.047+01:002013-06-20T15:53:31.047+01:00I find myself using cliches too frequently sometim...I find myself using cliches too frequently sometimes.
