Mmm... Thank you, but don't you mean, Modern as in from the 1600 on, right? You mean journalists of this 21st century, right?
Because Shakespeare uses things like,
"Eaten out of
house and home"
"Double, double
toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble"
"He contributed more
phrases and sayings to the English language than any other individual - and most of them are still in daily use.
And while "house and home" may be pretty close in meaning, they still have a slight difference... (I take one thing is play-writing and poetry... and another journalism...)
Can someone lose his liberty by still keep his freedom? Or viceversa?
Or is this just a pointless argument? (Una discusión bizantina: ¿cuántos ángeles caben en la cabeza de una aguja?)
I take there are differences of usage,
As in "Freedom of speech" or other "freedoms". You would say these are "liberties" but you would not say "liberty of speech"? (Well, now that I check it, there are 1,200,000 for "liberty of speech", legal definition et al...)
Mmmh...
