As always, the second part of our show will be dedicated to American culture and the English language. In the grammar section of our program, we’ll illustrate the use of today’s topic: Units of quantity--some, no, not any. And we’ll close this week’s program with a new English expression: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
