    For me it's
    - recurring vs recurrent
    - constraint vs restraint
    - continuous, continued, continual and continuing.
    - concise vs succinct
    - skillful vs skilled
    - unsettling vs disturbing
    For most foreigners, it's hard to spot the difference as it is subtle.

    Hi Wes. I want to ask, if I say" We met when we were in school", does it mean that we were students at the same school? And if I say" We met at school", does it mean that we were not students? We might be parents of students who went to the same school or we might be the guests/visitors of the school.
    I compare those sentences with these sentences " I was in hospital", means that I was a patient receiving medical treatments. And "I was at the hospital", means that I was a guest visiting my uncle.
    I'm confused. Please kindly enlighten me. Thank you.

    Native speakers of English also struggle with prepositions. An annoying trend is "speak on" referring to speaking out on a topic. We have substituted politeness over correct English grammar. We need to be careful about who we imitate, especially if the person is famous or successful .
    Not everyone has received the same QUALITY of education hence the ubiquitous bad English grammar everywhere in these United States.
