*English For Today by Ganiu Abisoye Bamgbose (GAB)*
*SOME IDIOMS ARE WRONG BECAUSE THEY ARE RECONSTRUCTED*
Burning the midnight *oil* (not, the midnight candle).
A problem shared is a problem *halved* (not, a problem shared is half solved).
To *play* to the gallery (not, dance to the gallery).
To *meet* minds with (not, rub minds with).
