NB: the 15. Cleaver! must be read "Clever!"
I don't know the difference b/w 23. Way To Go! and 36. Way To Go!

Thanks Gérard, I didn't know all of them. I don't know the difference between "way to go" and "way to go "either !
I would also say : It's tip top !

Hi Muriel, hi everyone,

In the "40 Ways to Say Very Good" list, I would add "Kudos!"

However, this word is not clear to me.
It was taken from the Greek and it means something like "respect", "congrats"... normally it's a singular word but I often meet it as a plural (probably people don't know it must be singular) or as an interjection.
Anyway!

Thanks Gérard "Kudos" is very good !

They didn't mention "Brilliant" which means extremely good !

Right Muriel.
I'd also like "gorgeous!".
Prolly oodles of others.

Yes Gérard,oodles of others
Magnificent ! impressive !

Thanks Gérard, for teaching me something, I didn't know anything in the list

Me neither Muriel.
Nothing urgent, no need to learn these words by the end of the week.

I feel better Gérard, I will be able to relax during the week-end. thanks

> I feel better Gérard
I'm not an EMT Muriel but I'd bet "I'm feeling better" is better could anyone please confirm?

Yes it is better to say "I am feeling better" (now)
but i feel better when i go to bed ( simple present because the action regularly happens)
Thanks for helping me.

Hi Muriel,

> I feel better Gérard
The relief in the present situation was not repetitive...

However, I was told off by Krystyna who said both are fine.
She doesn't like when I'm that strict as she reckons most European languages are strict but English is very flexible, especially in Oz.
Due to terrible accents, to lots of beer bottles, to continuous jokes, puns, roaring with laughter, etc Aussies are happy with understanding a few words in a sentence and the rest is guessed
An Oz favorite saying is "No worries!"; they're nice guys except on a rugby field.

Hi Gérard !
yes it's nice to be flexible and not to always follow the rules of grammar as Aussies do.
"No worries" is a very pleasant to hear because it helps to relax and recover from all the stresses

These sentences remind me of the contacts I had with English families. After shopping the ladies were always dying for a cup of tea !
