Italian. Oct 14, 2011. #1. Hi everyone, I am writing an e-mail, but would like to change subject. I know that there's a polite English expression to do this, but I cannot remember it (how annoying!) I know that to begin with 'On a different note ....' usually indicates that you are passing from a serious subject to a lighter one, but it's the ...
Mar 7, 2009. #2. I think you have used it correctly in your example. The phrase indicates a change in subject, often one that has a different "tone" (e.g. from light to serious). However, I think it's a little formal or literary for use in casual conversation such as this. J.

American English. Jun 20, 2016. #2. "I would like to inform you that ..." (But that's a bit too formal.) "I would like to let you know that ..." (Better.) Or you can just remove all that useless information and say, "I have uploaded the file ZH on the website." T.
Member. English - UK. May 25, 2015. #1. Bonjour tout le monde, I'm looking for as many synonyms for 'il y a' as I can. In terms of context, I'm talking about 'there is/are' in a literal sense, i.e. 'there is a car on the roadside', 'there's plenty to do in the town centre', etc. Thanks in advance. M.
a. The situation has been changed, which is different from the past. Here in the U.S., we would probably say: a. The situation has been changed, which is different than in the past. b. The situation has been changed, unlike in the past. (punctuation) (There are multiple threads on "different from" vs "different than") B.
Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. English - US. Sep 11, 2015. #2. "Could not have been more different" means "it's impossible for the differences between them to be any greater than they actually were." "Couldn't been more" isn't grammatical.
"Categorize" is a synonym for "sort". They're very similar in meaning, and in this context, one could simply sort out notes into categories, or categorize them into sorts (types) as well.
