Thanks for all the comments. I’m glad you liked the nice, easy topic. Some of you were having a discussion about the difference between “always” and “usually,” but I think you were overanalysing it a bit. The meaning of both words is straightforward, but as with most words, their true meaning in a sentence depends on the context. “Always” does mean \u3044\u3064\u3082, but in a sentence like “I always wear a watch,” it means “I always wear a watch at times when it would be sensible to wear a watch.” For example, if someone said, “I always take a shower in the morning,” nobody would think that meant “even if I go camping” or “even when I climbed Mt. Everest.” Here is some feedback on your comments. <\/p>\n
I do the same thing as I did when it was 10 or 20 years ago. That’s all for today. I’m doing a presentation for high-school teachers in Gifu tomorrow, and I’m going rafting on Sunday. Have a great weekend, and I’ll be back on Monday.

\nI do the same thing I did 10 or 20 years ago.
\n<\/strong>
\nI have a digital watch for running.
\nNice sentence.
\n<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t wear a watch anymore because of the same reason as yours.
\nI don’t wear a watch anymore for the same reason as you.
\n<\/strong>
\nI have about 4 or 5 wrist watches but I don\u2019t use them anymore and their batteries were dead.
\n… and their batteries are dead. \/ … and their batteries have died.
\n<\/strong>
\nBTW, \u201cDo you have the time?\u201d means \u201cwhat\u2019s time is it?\u201d, right? And \u201cDo you have time?\u201d means like \u201cCan I talk to you for a minute?\u201d. These two sentences are confusing for me.
\nThat’s right. It is a bit confusing.
\n<\/strong>
\nHere are my answers for your questions:
\nHere are my answers to your questions:
\n<\/strong>
\nYes, I was a person who always wearing a watch.
\nYes, I always used to wear a watch.
\n<\/strong>
\nIt was a wind-up type(I am not sure if it\u2019s proper words for \u624b\u5dfb\u304d\u6642\u8a08)
\nThat expression is fine.
\n<\/strong>
\nLike Gussan, I wear a watch when I go out and take it off as soon as I get home.

\nIt\u2019scorching hot today, isn\u2019t it?
\nApparently, it was 39 degrees in Gifu City on Thursday! I thought I was going to melt.
\n<\/strong>
\nbut it\u2019s easier for me to make sure the time with the watch.
\nbut it’s easier for me to check the time with the watch. (A-Z: make sure)
\n<\/strong>
\nAs Gussan says, \u201cwatches\u201d is rather a men\u2019s topic.
\nI think Amo might disagree!
\n<\/strong>
\nWatches and other props play an important role in making movies and dramas better.don\u2019t they?
\nCompanies pay a lot of money to have characters in movies and on TV use their products. It’s called “product placement.” Have you ever noticed that if you ever see someone using a laptop computer in a movie, nine times out of ten it will be a Mac?
\n<\/strong>

\nI see. Tonari san does his job for bike races?
\nYes, he does. I sometimes joke with him that it would be easier to arrange for his salary to go directly to the bike shop. It’s a very expensive hobby, but he loves it. He says that he wants to get married and have kids, but I think it will be difficult for him to find a woman who is prepared to let him spend so much money on his bikes.
\n<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s true or not, in Europe some people work just to have a great vacation\u2026
\nThat is a common way of thinking in the West.
\n<\/strong>
\nWhen I carelessly lost my only watch about 7years ago,I was a bit panicked.
\n…, I panicked a bit.
\n<\/strong>
\nI think it will never change even 10 years from now.

\nNow he is famous on this blog,isn\u2019t he?
\nTonari San checks the blog from time to time. I’m sure he will be glad to hear that he is famous!
\n<\/strong>
\nI suppose words have some umbiguity in their meanings to some extent. So, both of them can be used in the same meaning.
\nThat is correct.
