Clichés are over-used words and expressions. Why not think of new ways to express your thoughts? Find new, modern, culturally apt examples to make your meaning clear. You’ve heard “It sells like hot cakes”. Hot cakes? Do you eat your cakes hot? Why don’t you say, “It sells like vuvuzelas at a football match or [...]]]></description>

What is a cliché, asked a young friend.
Look at it this way. If a footballer said, “We give 100% every time. We take one game at a time. We just go out and play our natural game. We are just happy to be here. We have our backs against the wall. It ain’t over till [...]]]></description>

Whether or If? Can&#8217;t decide which one to choose? Here is a simple rule.
When you want to introduce a condition use If. If you continue to be rude, I shall leave the room. The condition is clear here.

Do you spot the error here? No? Check these sentences you hear often:

“The library bought less books this year.”
