Ji4 gaa1 gei2 dim2？   而家几点？ What time is it now?

My dad and I, discuss the pros and cons of life in Florida, as well as the reasons so many people choose to move there.

Starting at 16:48, I explain the following vocabulary from the episode:

-in other words
-go through the roof
-all bets are off

Brentoni's English Podcast

017 - Why Do People Move to Florida? (Part One)

Today we're talking about the noun, workhorse. I have several things around me, on my desk, that I could describe as workhorses. Maybe you do too! I hope you find todays podcast useful.

I have several horses in my office.

If you're looking to make a good first impression on a dating app, from your POV, you might think it would be a good idea to send a text using lots of abbreviations to make it seem like you're BFFs with the person you're texting.

But FWIW, according to a recent study from Stanford University and the University of Toronto, nobody likes receiving text abbreviations — not even young people.

Don't know those abbreviations? "POV" means "point of view," "BFF" means "best friend forever," and "FWIW" is "for what it's worth"!

Researchers studying the use of such abbreviations did a number of studies with several thousand people, and they found that texts using abbreviations were less likely to get replies. And writers using abbreviations were more likely to be seen as insincere.

Of course, we all use abbreviations — in one survey, it was found that 99% of people said they used them. But the researchers found that people don't like receiving texts with abbreviations, because rather than making them feel closer to the other person, it felt like the other person wasn't putting much effort into the conversation.

And while young people are even more likely to use abbreviations, they still felt that people who used them were insincere. Young people were also less likely to reply to such messages.

Lead researcher David Fang said we often put different amounts of effort into our conversations to show how important the other person is to us.

So it might be fine to put little effort into, say, a quick message to a delivery driver. But Fang said his team's results are especially important for people who really want to make a good impression — like at the beginning of a relationship!
