Greetings!
Some English-language Web sites seem to adopt a policy of “We never met an idiom we didn't like.” Well, the WordMaster believes that all idioms are NOT created equal. Let's face it, there are thousands of idioms out there that most native speakers never use - and rarely hear. That's why the WordMaster won't introduce an idiom unless the time you invest in learning it will pay you real dividends right away.
So what's this week's theme? You guessed it: Must-Know Business Idioms! Now let's start
the ball rolling!
