Thanks for being the first to comment on this blog. Yes, you can say that again. When we say we learn something here, it may mean we learn something about other fields, not only English.

Thanks for the explanation of "music to my ear", and for reading and commenting on this blog.

Good question. It should be "an honour/honor" since the 'h' isn't pronounced. Thanks for pointing out the typo.
@Anne
Nice work! You just rewrite the dialogue - a perfect revision. You could try to write a new one using the present perfect progressive tense, which can be so fun. Thanks!

Doc, what a nice conversation! Thanks for enlightening me with this word "resident". Before, the only way I know how to use this word was when I saw the film "Resident Evil". I thought it was an evil word, lol. (Just joking, Doc)
Thanks Doc. You are always good in writing dialogues.
Thank you for sharing, sir
