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.

'Bill of sale' and 'bill of lading' used to be a little confusing to me.
'Estate sale', as well as 'garage sale', were much clearer.

Evernote's web client failed briefly just a moment ago.
Users will pick up on it and pay attention to the feasibility of Evernote's competitors' services, if that kind of downtime happens often.

I know 'blurb' and 'executive summary'.
But what's the word for their counterparts on websites? Web page blurbs, article blurbs, and news blurbs?
It seems that many, if not most, packaged foods and beverages companies in the U.S. and Canada have not been safeguarding their customers' health, especially against obesity.
For that matter, it is obvious that their consumers do not want obesity encroaching on their very own bodies because of the consumption.

Google, in its infinite wisdom, closed down the service of its very popular Google Reader.
That act, planted a seed of distrust in my mind.

'Yellow and blue can make chartreuse and green and aquamarine.'
'Red and blue can make magenta and purple and violet.'
'But yellow and red can make marigold and orange and vermilion.'
'But yellow and red can make marigold and orange and vermilion.'
What's beneath the emergence of the budding phenomenon of crowdbirthing?
A hyper level of competition infiltrated into every single aspect of the modern life?

In the wake of the great decline of Blackberry Limited (formerly known as RIM), will the Waterloo, Ontario area be able to regenerate itself?
It's another major blow to the Canadian tech industry following the one of Nortel.

Apple's current dominance is still inconclusive, I feel.
Nowadays, some consumers are apt to find less and less reasons to justify craving and scrambling for a brand new iPad or MacBook something. As for iPhones, as well as Siri, let's just keep tabs on them for now.
On the other hand, the nascent Windows 10 with the Cortana voice assistant seems increasingly interesting.

In a supposedly free society, which Canada claims itself to be, how could scientists get muzzled in the first place?
