| Phrase | perfectly |
| Text | The word "perfectly," in this podcast, means entirely or completely and is used for emphasis: "That children's book was perfectly delightful! I wonder when they'll make it into a movie." The phrase "perfect timing" describes something that happened at the best possible time, or precisely when it needed to happen: "Are you home early? That's perfect timing! Dinner is almost ready." When one has been criticized by another person, the phrase "nobody's perfect" is used to lessen the severity or seriousness of that criticism: "Sure, she made some mistakes, but nobody's perfect. It could have happened to any of us." Finally, the phrase "practice makes perfect" is used to remind people that the only way to get better at something is to try to do it many times: "Wynona spends hours practicing her violin playing, because practice makes perfect." |
