How to use "good thinking"

This expression is "used for telling someone that they have had a good idea". (Macmillan Dictionary)

Thus, instead of saying "good idea", you might use "good thinking", as well as Robin used to do in the 60s. 

"Good thinking, Batman!!"

iTranslate TipTuesday#9

There are a lot of different online translators and dictionaries on the internet. So, it´s not easy to pick just one, right?

The only way to figure this out is trying. :) 

I've been doing this for the last few weeks by using iTranslate (the most popular translator app). It's an award winning translation tool and it's been good, for now. 

"80+ languages in your pocket" - not bad, huh? :)

How about an app that you can save web content and read it later, wherever you are, even when there is no WiFi, like on a plane?

You can also use Instapaper to highlight and share text from any article. Useful, isn't?

Describing People #1 - "He's a real character"

image from here

When you need to describe someone who is unusual, interesting or an amusing individual, say this:

"He (she) is a real character."

"You'd like Joe, he's a real character."

You can also use it to define a place:

"The modern hotels here have no real character."

How to use "for good"

Do you know that there is another way to say "forever"?

Macmillan Dictionary - permanently, without the possibility of change in the future. It looks like Jamie has left for good this time.

Merriam Webster - "for good" also "for good and all":  forever, permanently

The Free Dictionary - forever; permanently. I finally left home for good. // Now she says she's leaving him for good.

But... is there any difference between "for good" and "forever"? 

I found a good explanation for this question here : 

'Forever' is much more dramatic - it means eternally, till the end of all time.

'For good' is usually used in the sense of everyday happenings in life. It would mean permanently, for the rest of my life.

This leads us to conclude that, when it comes to Portuguese, "for good" is the best translation for " definitivamente" : He left his job for good. (Ele largou o trabalho definitivamente.)

I hope it was helpful. 

Now, how about learning how to use it singing with Boyce Avenue "Back for Good"?
