Ask Steph

I've been reading back some of my posts , and whilst none of them are untrue , I have realised that I only really blog about South Africa , when I am feeling a bit homesick. See, the thing is , when things are good, and when I am too busy to feel depressed, then nobody really get's to hear about it. I thought that it was probably a little unfair to Australia, so in this post, I will list all the reasons why I think Australia is a good place to live.

WRAPPED = to wrap something up ("I wrapped the gift before I gave it to Jess for her birthday") RAPPED = to hit or smack - it mostly gets used to describe a figurative 'hitting' ( I got " rapped over the knuckles" by my Boss today )  RAPT = with wonderment and joy ("I am rapt with joy when I walk into the shops and see gluten free food")  The definitions have been added to this post on 10 October 2012 as a result of almost all people ending up on this post while searching for the correct spelling or usage of wrapped/rapped /rapt . "Wrapt" is a common misspelling of rapt , and is increasingly becoming used as an alternate spelling of wrapped. Neither are correct if you're an old fuddy duddy like me . It's wrapped , or rapt , depending on the context of your sentence.  Now - on with the original post -  I hope you will continue and read it , and enjoy it  - Steph  Australians talk a very unique brand of English -- locally...
