**NATIVE english speakers only** I will provide you a list of 30 idioms. I would like you to take that list and enter each of them plus all of the information below into an online form on a website that my company is developing. The website is designed to define and teach idioms. We are currently building the idiom database, and need the idioms defined and entered. For each idiom you will need to: - Provide alternative ways of phrasing it. - Indicate other idioms that relate to it. - Provide a brief, 1 sentence, description. - Provide a more detailed explanation, including any background information on it's origin. - Provide AT LEAST two examples. - Rate it's popularily (scale 1-5) - How common is it to hear this idiom in everyday speech? - Rate it's Formality (scale 1-5) - How appropriate is this idiom for use in formal speech? I'm looking for people that are native english speakers. If you have a degree in English, or are studying English, or have writing experience please tell me so. This is an introductory project - I may select several bidders and choose one or two to continue working with long term. *****IMPORTANT**** With your bid, please also send me a PM with a sample idiom. Choose any idiom that you like and provide all the information above. AN EXAMPLE: "Kick The Bucket" - Also Can Be Phrased: Kicked the bucket - Related Idioms: Six feet under, Bite the dust - Brief Definition: To die - Further Explanation: To kick the bucket is an informal way of stating that somebody has died. It's origins come from a method of committing suicide where a person hangs himself by standing on a bucket, tightening a noose around their neck, and then ultimately kicking the bucket from under their feet. Despite the origins, the idiom does NOT mean that a person committed suicide, it simply means that they died. - Examples: + Once I kick the bucket, you'll finally be able to drive my car. + Jessica, it would make your grandmother very happy if you have kids before she kicks the bucket. + John kicked the bucket a year ago, but we are still finding credit cards that he owes money on! - Popularity: 4 - Formality: 2

Hello - I would love to work on this project with you! I am an American writer currently earning my Associates Degree in Communications. I have exceptional skills in vocabulary, grammar, spelling, etc. - I love everything involving words. I would enjoy the research involved in this project, i.e. finding alternative phrases, similes, etc. I am available to begin immediately, and am online from 8 am to 10 pm CST every day. My desired rate for this work would be $2.00 per idiom. However, I'm willing to negotiate according to your expected budget.

- Play it by ear - not follow a plan; be spontaneous - played it by ear. To wing it; to see how we go "How are you getting to the show?" - "We don't know yet. I think we'll play it by ear." Origins in classical music. Refers to those who can play music spontaneously rather than by following sheets. te it's popularily (scale 1-5) - 5 very popular it's Formality (scale 1-5) - 2 informally used. I am a Cambridge certified ESL instructor with 10 years experience making text books and teaching. I am a Native speaker who is reliable. Choose me, and you will not be sorry.

Hi, I am a native English speaker and I hold a Diploma in the English Language having studied English literature and poetry for four years and I am thus very conversant with various modes of idiomatic expressions. I am an internet junkie and available online an average of sixteen hours per day. I am aware that time is of the essence, I therefore would do this project in 24 hours only...

I can rewrite words according to what is ask. I can do all what you will tell me and i can perform job in a clean and fastest way. I can adjust well in a job related relationship and i can value worker - employer relationship in order to maintain honest and friendly treatment and promote good relationship among worker and employer. Honesty and implementation of contract must be valued and treated fairly. The work must be submitted on time to avoid any dispute and bad working habit. Much valued on work ethics and harmonious relationship among worker and employer is being emphasized and given importance. I can comply and obey instruction and i can say that integrity, loyalty, and sincerity really counts.
