'Luck in' and 'Luck out'
'Drive off' and 'Drive on'
Not a phrase, just a word: FLAMMABLE and INFLAMMABLE.
Same with 'habitable' and 'inhabitable'
Fill in and fill out (as in forms) but that's a UK/US distinction (originally).
Surely dundurn is wrong with 'habitable' and 'inhabitable'
habitable means can be lived in whereas inhabitable means cannot be lived in
No dundurn is correct. You are thinking of uninhabitable.
a tree, first you chop it down then chop it up
Thanks squarebear I GOT IT WRONG been working overtime a lot lately caught me out completely going to bed now bye bye
"Drive off" is from rest. "Drive on" is when you've been moving and have slowed down or come to a temporary halt.

There seem to be a few people from the USA on this site and they'll get in a right old two-and-eight, since many of their modal verbs use different prepositions, e.g. hang in, when we say hang on.
