Mistakes we make while speaking English Part-1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Thanks Sir! Good post!

Would like to add one more Americanism which is wrong, grammatically.
The peculiar expression is- "I am hurting" or "He is hurting".
What is being communicated here is that their is pain which he/she is undergoing at the moment.
Grammatically, it would mean that the subject is in the act of hurting (inflicting pain on somebody); but that is not what is intended by the colloquial usage.

There are more colloquial ways to use 'hurting' in AmE. Sometimes 'hurting' used informally to describe a person or thing which is in bad shape/condition or isn't working properly.

For example:
- If my car is running, but just barely, I might tell you that 'my car is really hurting'.
- If John is broke, I might tell you that 'he's hurting for money'.

In the Indian context though, we have not caught up with the Americans on this expression.

good learning sir
