This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life.
I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests.
Welcome. And, have a good day.

Well, between the synonyms "lumber" and "timber", largely due to the sounds of the two words, I personally consider "timber" is finer than "lumber". Or more precisely, to put it another way, "lumber" sounds a little rough or coarse.
