雖然「super」和「superb」都是常用字，但它們並不完全可以互換。今次《「語」您講》，我會與大家研究這兩個字之間的分別，以及探討如何正確使用以及何時使用兩字。希望大家閱讀過這篇博客文章後不會再被它們混淆！

入門指南：撇號（apostrophe）的運用
相信大家對在社交媒體上關於「Your」和「You’re」的笑話和「文法警察」與其他用戶之間的辯論都十分熟悉。今次《「語」您講》將會探討撇號（apostrophe）的三大主要用途，並會討論它的正確運用方法。

「年齡問題」：連字號 (hyphen) 的運用
當我們以英文書寫時，可能會被「年齡問題」(the “year-old” problem) 困擾。今次《「語」您講》將會探討不同表達年齡的方式及文法，並會討論連字號 (hyphen) 的正確運用方法。總括而言，決定是否在「year old」（及其他如「week old」和「minute old」）中加上連字號 (hyphen) 取決於年齡相對於名詞的擺放位置。
The “Year-Old” Problem: When To Use a Hyphen
Talking about age in writing may sometimes be tricky. In this Ed’s Elevenses blog post, we will look at various ways to deal with age. The simplest way to determine when to hyphenate “year old” (or indeed all the “old”s, like “week old” and “minute old”) would be to look for the position of the age in relation to the noun.
