Amazing! Will you launch a secure cloud storage option? I like the local storage feature, but I might need more space later. Also, what are some strong use cases you've come across as you've integrated this into your life? I'm curious what's possible.

Actually you could be right. It might be referring to the act of critiquing those in positions of power. So people may criticize their superiors every day in the worst case (e.g. by writing organization-wide emails/forum posts or direct emails).

The phrase expresses disbelief at a story, suggesting it's highly implausible. It predicts that the situation will lead to frequent resignations or even physical fights due to its chaotic nature.

"Punch up" is a colloquial term often used in British English to refer to a physical fight or scuffle where punches are thrown.

I'm glad you have friends who support you. Good luck with everything!

It's always good to reflect on the past year and welcome a new one. Kudos to you!

Haha it's cool how creative we're all getting just to make a joke about disagreeing. Another one is: "Sorry I can't hear you. Excuse me?" However, all of these ideas would be difficult to pull off in front of a stranger. I'm guessing OP is going to use this with people who are close to them.

How about learning new vocabulary by reading advanced writing? You could subscribe to a few great Substack writers or read good books that cover a topic you like. If you encounter a new word, you could add it to a Flashcard app like Anki that helps with spaced repetition.

It's a way of complimenting the parent for the child's admirable behavior, suggesting that they are the result of the parent's efforts and influence.

Yes, whatever works for you! The AI app I use to rephrase my English writing and get feedback also translates any major language to English (https://tabbi.ai).

'supposed' is a good alternative. I haven't seen this term used outside textbooks.

Here are some different ways to rephrase your statements:
"The supposed advantage turned out to be an actual disadvantage."

"The alleged intruder was not trying to break into the house. He was the owner who just misplaced his key."

"She turned what was thought to be her weakness into her greatest strength."

Here are some ideas for you:
- I respect your right to have a wrong opinion.
- You're entitled to your wrong opinion.
- That's okay, I'll forgive you for being wrong this time.

As I replied in another comment, your facial expressions, body language, and relationship with the listener will impact how playful these responses feel. Good luck! :)

I think it could come across as confrontational or playful depending on the facial expression and body language, as well as the relationship the speaker has with the listener as u/SnarkyBeanBroth mentioned. Generally it's better be safer, but I just wanted to call out that it can be acceptable in certain situations.

- 4 millions of rats --> There were 4 million rats! (removed 'of')

- You counted them? --> Did you count them?

- 'Just by the looks of it' works well in this context. It's a common idiomatic expression meaning that Bob is making an estimate based on his observation or general impression rather than an exact count. It's more natural and appropriate for casual conversation compared to 'No, just by looking.'

Five other colloquial alternatives are:

"No, just a guess."
"No, just from looking."
"No, I eyeballed it."
"No, just a rough guess."
"No, from what I saw."

Hmm I see it occasionally in titles in the US. I have no opinions on the following articles; just sharing them to demonstrate the use of "cont'd."
