Haha this is funny, feels like I need to go back to elementary school!
Ok, so lately I have caught myself running to Google for help when I'm writing posts here. That is mainly because when I write words like "headache" etc that consists of two words, I'm not sure if they should be together or not.
Back in school, my english teacher told us that english has one major difference from swedish, which is that in english, you most often do not write the words together as one word, so I was assuming "headache" was "head ache" but all of those assumptions are false according to some googling about it. In Sweden, we always write those kind of words together as one word, but now I'm beginning to feel that this is the case in english too since MOST of the cases when I thought it was 2 separate words, has actually been a single word instead.
BUT... I'm still not sure. I was doing the same googling routine today when I wasn't sure if it was "Powergrid" or "Power grid" and it was actually the latter. So what's going on here... are there a million exceptions one must learn or is one way or the other the correct way? I really wanna know, I feel like I'm losing "it"
LET THE CLASS BEGIN! (and thank you)
