    homemade or home made or home-made <-----Edited to add the text in question to the post-----> Hello, I've found each of the spellings in the headline and I'm not sure if all of them are correct or there is one use more frequently than the others? I guess it would be 'homemade'. Thanks for your replies.

  3. 'Homemaker,' 'Housewife/househusband', 'Housemaker'...

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/homemaker-housewife-househusband-housemaker...

    But, since you explained that "-wife" merely means "woman," I think "housewife" is a perfectly fine word to describe any woman who does most (if not all) of the housework, whether she's married, has a partner, lives with him or not. So, "homemaker" means both housewife and househusband in AE. That's good to know.

    Dec 28, 2022. #4. Question: Does ''give'' collocate with ' 'spoiler' ' in the OP context in the examples that I made up below? a. I won't tell you more about the movie because I don't want to give you a spoiler. b. If I tell you what happened at that moment, I'll be giving you a spoiler. Thank you in advance!

    I also have seen it on homemade billboards in rural Indiana and on bumper stickers like the one in #6, which refer to the same passage in the New Testament. I associate it with evangelical Christianity and particularly the US Midwest, because that's where I first saw it about 40 years ago.

  6. too much sweets or too many sweets? | WordReference Forums

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/too-much-sweets-or-too-many-sweets.3327433

    South East England. English - England. May 26, 2017. #3. I ate too much sweets today. I ate too many sweets today. Sweets are countable, so 'too many sweets'. Compare with 'I ate too much sugar today.'. Curiously, with 'chocolate' (in BE at least) you can say either 'too many chocolates' or 'too much chocolate'.

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/shop-vs-store.1110263

    Sep 28, 2008. #2. In BrE, "shop" means any premises that sell retail goods, often of a single kind such as electrical goods, clothes, groceries etc. "Store" tends to mean a larger establishment that is divided into sections and sells several types of goods. Large stores become "department stores", because they are effectively a number of shops ...

  8. Quality made in Germany | WordReference Forums

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/quality-made-in-germany.2732144

    Nov 6, 2013. #2. I think that "Quality made in Germany" is intended to mean "This bottle is of of high quality and/because it was made in Germany". I don't think the noun is modifying the past participle, so I don't think it is a good example. There is a standard expression "this (cake etc) is home-made". We often think of "home-made" as a ...

  9. You are welcomed/welcome to join us. | WordReference Forums

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/you-are-welcomed-welcome-to-join-us.3734174

    You are welcomed to join us whenever you want. This isn't grammatical. This is an optional class and everyone from both shifts are welcomed. I suppose this is grammatical but it's unlikely. "Welcomed" here is a verb. If you just mean that everyone from both shifts will be welcome, use "welcome", an adjective.
