I had never read or listened to that expression and I just want to know if it is correct. I used to think it was a common mistake ESL/EFL learners made, but now I am not sure and I am an EFL student myself. I hope you can help me, by the way...

Lowe grammar The example of the podcast/radio show is incorrectly identified as a simile. It does not establish a relationship between two unlike things, but rather between two similar things. When we explain that a CD is like a record or that a podcast is like a radio show, those statements are literally, not figuratively true. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-similes-metaphors.aspx?commentid=11749#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-similes-metaphors.aspx?commentid=11749#Comments Wed, 20 Feb 2008 20:01:01 GMT John Feagin grammar Hi, love your pod-casts.
