Is there a difference between dreamed and dreamt? You might be surprised to find conflicting reports. Some people say that there is no difference. Others say that the two words have different meanings. What’s the real deal?
Dreamt and dreamed are both past tense forms of dream. Dreamt is more common in Britain, while dreamed is more common in other English-speaking countries, including the U.S.
Being someone’s bff does not mean you’re part of a club with only two members. It does, however, mean that you have a very close friend.
Bff is an initialism of the phrase best friend(s) forever, and it’s a term of endearment used for selected close friends.

In fact, texting experts seem to agree that an ideal text should be short and sweet, especially in a business environment, where the name of the game is brevity. Essentially, focus on quality, not quantity.
