C1 students: persona, candid, sugar-coated, staff, to groom... Great words, uh? Well, they came up the other day and I was wondering if you jotted them down at all or simply chose to only understand them. By the way Mª Jesús was kind enough to share with me a link to an interesting video that shows a TED presentation by linguist John McWhorter. I happen to have read two of his books and I must say that he's a refreshing voice in the ever-growing world of linguistics. I actually think you will enjoy this...Enjoy!
