**Use the code SPEAK20 to get $20 off. 🤗
A new year - 2023 - is upon us, so let's learn some vocabulary that I think may be relevant for this upcoming year. These are more informal words and phrases, some of which could even be considered slang.
I'll tell you the meaning, talk a little bit about each word, and try to provide some examples so you can see how they're used in context.

Hi! Great job of you! Thanks a lot! Now I have one word where I said "It's correct, but this is not an argument for this problem". In fact, literary I used to put it as "It's a proof for a different theorem" (but, of course, in my native language, which is Ukrainian). I noticed that people tend to lead discussions in a whataboutism way
