What is the meaning of dog years in the following sentence? Hollywood� � �
marriages are counted in dog years.�
As we all know, most animals do not live as long as human beings. One year in a
dog s life is not the same as a year in the life of a human being. Dogs age�
faster, and according to dog experts, the first two years in a dog s life are�
equivalent to ten and a half human years . After that, every dog year is� � � �
equivalent to four human years. Others claim that one dog year is equivalent� �
to seven human years. When you say that Hollywood marriages should be counted in
dog years, what you are suggesting is that the number of years the stars have
been married, should be multiplied by seven. Makes sense, doesn t it? Movie�
stars fall in love quickly, get married quickly, and get divorced quickly.

What is the difference between allusion, delusion, and illusion?
An allusion is a reference to something, usually an indirect reference to a
statement by another or to a hint or suggestion, a passing or incidental
reference. An illusion is a fanciful vision or a false impression or idea, a
mental state in which one attributes reality to something unreal. Delusion is a
mistaken impression or wrong idea, but the word also implies action - the action
of fooling with a wrong impression or idea or the condition of being fooled or
deceived.
