I'm here all week.
Good thing it's Friday.
Is it cold in here?:
I keep meaning to start a topic in Chatter about how weird English is.
"To make sure" can mean either to verify the state of something without changing it, or it can mean emphatically to put it into that state if necessary.

Yeah, so? Most languages have ambiguous constructs. If you want to pick on English start with "can't". "You can't drink too much water each day." Is that an warning against drinking excessive amounts of water or is it a statement implying no amount of daily water intake is unhealthy?
