I started watching the Ben's channel again, which has rekindled my passion to the way how he delivers the nitty-gritty of language on the KZread.

I "wholeheartedly agree" with all of your follower comments that "extol the virtues" of your channel, since your lessons are "inextricably linked" with high-quality teachings, which always render me spechless. All of us should "forge relationships" in order to make your channel bigger and bigger, which, by the way, is "highly likely" to happen due to its great contents. I'll launch a "scarthing atack" to those who dare not praise your efforts, I'd preffer to be "blissfully unaware" of them, actually. Please Ben, don't "scupper my plan" of moving forward in my learning process and keep up with your outstanding work that "rekindle my passion" for English. (Ben, excuse me for all the mistakes I made in this comment. The only thing I was looking for was to practice these collocations, which has been quite a challenge!!! I'll be always grateful to you).

I remembered this by creating a little story. We can wholeheartedly agree or respectfully disagree, but we still want to forge relationship in which we’ll extol virtues that are extricably linked. Although many scathing attacks might render us speechless and scupper our plans, we’ll pretend like we’re blissfully unaware of them rekindling our love and passion. Maybe it’ll help someone as well.

Hi, would that be a bad idea for an episode on vocabulary for situations when we need to digress and then get back to the main topic ("revenons à nos moutons")?

Let me mention, these expressions mostly exist in other languages: I speak Hungarian so it is easy to understand these collocations. F.e. "scupper" in Hungarian in a mirror translation is: to sink a ship by hitting a hole into the side, so it will sink sooner or later. I think collocation is frequently used in newspapers for the sake of better understanding and to spare a lot of work for journalists. But the use of collocations can be applied in high literature when the writer's opinion is somehow sarcastic about the state of the world or people. Just think about Bertold Brecht.
