A new list of vocabulary is here! Some important notes to bear in mind:

“Equipment” is an uncountable word so you need to say “a piece of equipment”. It is a very general use word that can be used to describe almost anything mechanical.

“Appliance” is typically used in the phrase “electrical appliances” (eg irons and kettles) that are less advanced technology.

Hey!

It's a long read time!

We have found a captivating issue on Quora for you: What's the difference between terrible and horrible?
Here is a combination of two answers:

Terrible and horrible both are adjectives but, they have totally different meanings.
Terrible :- 1. extremely bad or serious.
For e.g:"a terrible crime"
2. causing or likely to cause terror; sinister.
For e.g: "terrible face"

Horrible :- 1. causing or likely to cause horror; shocking
For e.g: "horrible murder"
2. very unpleasant

Moreover, one of the several definitions of terrible is not only quite different from horrible but also unknown to most folks. Terrible also means intense or extreme, as in a terrible beauty. In this it resembles awful, a word that once meant awe-inspiring.

Hey!
It's a long read time.

The Pumpkin Spice Latte is a coffee drink made with a mix of traditional fall spice flavors (cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove), steamed milk, and espresso, topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice. Since 2015, it has also contained a small amount of pumpkin puree. The drink is offered by Starbucks and many other cafés on a seasonal basis, usually being introduced on the first of September and usually, depending on the store, will end sometime around the end of December.
