I am very flattered that you are learning words from me Haoyan – but not at all certain that I can fully recommend it. PS bandy can also refer to people who do not meet at the knees.

Thank you for the clarification. Never used bandy before. I guess it is not recommendable. LOL.

I just looked it up. Chuff is not a word, but chuffed means very pleased. Chaff is a word and chaff means tease. Chafe means irritate. I think English is driving me crazy. it is wonder that it hasn’t driven me crazier.

Oh, you got me with “peregrination”, as I don’t think I’ve even seen that word before, let alone knew the definition. I’ll have to find a way to work the word into a conversation tomorrow… 😉
