11. Anybody

Anybody for a cuppa? These ladies looked like they deserved a well earned rest and natter. Also today's word has sparked a big conversation in our house about the difference in meaning of anyone/anybody & someone/somebody - I've never even questioned it before and now I'm mulling it over. I'm off for a cuppa.....! 🙂

Good candid catch! I suppose it's a bit like vous and tu in french, all about intimacy of knowing people??

Fabulous photo to spark such an interesting conversation. I like your perspective. Did they notice you?

[Annie D]

Lovely candid
I think the difference is someone and anyone are a bit more formal but other than that they're interchangeable.

Great candid shot. Maybe the ladies where having the same conversation.

[Casablanca]

Oh no, now you have set me off thinking about that too! Super candid shot

Interesting thoughts

[Sally Ings]

Super candid capture. The topic is definitely a good conversation started or debate topic. It certainly had us chatting about it.

[Heather]

A nice candid with great pops of colour!

[Renee Salamon]

Nice shot and now you’ve got me thinking too

@grammyn I'm hoping they didn't notice me taking the photo haha!

[Gavin.J]

My favourite kind of candid photo this is:)

A terrific candid. The ladies are looking very fit!

I just asked Mr Google and found that someone/somebody means an unspecified person with certain qualities eg someone to do my taxes and anyone/anybody is just an unspecified person.

Further down it said that someone/somebody is used in positive sentences and anyone/anybody is used in questions and negative sentences.

I'm none the wiser

@kjarn Oh my thanks for looking it up! I just accept that, in the moment, I know what to say when I have to say it haha!
