In response to Re you raise to the occasion or you rise to the occasion (Former FT in China)

FTeesy. I'm not getting hot under the collar. I'm sorry if my writing style gives you that opinion, but I'm sure you'd know if I was annoyed. Incidentally, Taffy has already called me 'caustic' today too.

Firstly, I'm not teaching this. I was simply asked the question after a Chinese teacher had told the student she was 'wrong'.

As for you not using it, well I can assure you that in my English hometown, the phrase 'We're having a party next week....etc' is common, everyday usage. As I said previously, it may not be the perfect choice of words compared to the 2 other choices, but it's certainly not 'wrong' in the way that this Chinese teacher insisted it was.

Is it Tomayto or Tomarto?
