@bsloan7 Thank you! As for a question I just asked, in your experience, have you ever heard this sentence said by Americans? Or have you ever said it yourself?

3. Have you started a family?

@studiousboy I’ve never said it personally. I’ve probably heard it before though. But again, “have you guys started a family yet” is most likely what was said. “Have you started a family” just doesn’t flow as well.

@bsloan7 Alright. Thank you! To confirm, “glamour” and “glamorous” are correct, while “glamor” and “glamourous” are incorrect. Am I right?

@studiousboy Apparently, “glamor” and “glamourous” are nonstandard spellings. So they technically aren’t incorrect, but they’re pretty much never used. My autocorrect wants me to change “glamourous” because most people consider it to be wrong.

@bsloan7 Thank you! American English usually use the “or” ending, such as “color” as opposed to “colour”. But “glamour” is an exception, Americans use “glamour” (the “our” ending), whereas “glamorous” is very normal in US English but completely abnormal in UK English. Oh, English is so irregular. 😂 Thanks a lot!

Which is correct?
1. I’ve been working from home lately.
2. I’ve been working at home lately.

Which is correct?1. I’ve been working from home lately.2. I’ve been working at home lately. See a translation

@studiousboy I wouldn’t say 1 is far more common because I’ve definitely seen and heard 2. But 1 might be slightly more common.

They're both correct.

@studiousboy Yes, that’s natural!

@studiousboy They’re both natural, but most people would probably say 1. “Playing” is superfluous.

@studiousboy Apparently, “glamor” and “glamourous” are nonstandard spellings. So they *technically* aren’t incorrect, but they’re pretty much never used. My autocorrect wants me to change “glamourous” because most people consider it to be wrong.
