Can you help me to chek the exact meaning of the word commercial:
Is the ''commercial bread'' the one you can buy everywhere because it is put on the market or does commercial mean popular?
Huh, thank you

Antonia,
I'd say commercial bread is the bread that isn't baked manually in a small bakery.
Commercial bread would be the bread that's made in factories, with a lot of additives to make it last longer, "Harry's" or that kind of thing, you see?

Glad you do, Abbie!


Anne, I think it should be "Glad you did, Abbie!"

Abbie says: "I agree"
Pieanne answers: "Glad you do, Abbie!"

"agree" is in the present tense, so is "do"

Is this the mutual admiration society? If so, the membership is great! Wink [;)]
