ACCENTS
I’m including the video below that will hopefully allow you to realize that there are many (infinite) accents in English. I confess that I don’t fully understand many of these.  So, if I don’t, why should you?

  3. From BBC Learning English

    "Today's Phrase
    If something 'drives you up the wall', it makes you very irritated and angry.

    For example:

    This computer is really driving me up the wall; it keeps crashing!

    Shopping for jeans drives her up the wall. She can never find a pair that fit her.

    You are driving me up the wall! Will you stop singing that awful song now?"

    Thanks for both of your comments.
    Not having a steady connection to Internet is driving me up the wall!
    Happy Monday!
