Transcript:Don't get me wrong. I love it! Don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to get you or anything. In this episode, you will get familiar with the expression "don't get me wrong". And as usual here on the Vocab Man you'll listen to several examples of the expression that we are going to cover so that you can memorize it in a very easy way. 0:32 Example 1 Surely recycling can fix the plastic problem. Don't get me wrong. Recycling is vital for dealing with waste. I'm not saying you should just start checking everything in the bin for landfill, but unfortunately our recycling systems just can't cope with the amount of plastic we currently produce.Plastics can only be recycled a certain number of times, so we can't keep recycling the same thing forever and making new recycled goods out of the plastic we recycle also uses up a lot of energy and resources. Doesn't plastic packaging, prevent food waste. This might seem like a question with a simple answer, but the links between food waste and plastic packaging are complex.Don't forget to follow and to read the transcript. Of course.Don't get me wrong. It's a very practical and useful expression. I think it's only used in speech. So you probably won't find it in written form and you might use it to avoid a misunderstanding. What I want to say is. Maybe you believe that the things you are going to say is a bit delicate or could be easily misunderstood by someone else.So then you just begin with "don't get me wrong"But it also works the other way around because according to the Wiktionary "don't get me wrong" is used to clarify that something previously said did not have a meaning that could be misinterpreted.2:09 example 2Now don't get me wrong. I do think it's important to know what's going on in the world, but I just don't think following the day to day developments of the news cycle is the way to do that.So instead, I'm going to get one newspaper delivered to my house every week. And that is how I am going to stay informed. 2:29 Outro with Daniel GoodsonDon't get me wrong. What the man said just before. I mean, he made a good point, right? But on the other hand, one cool idea is to keep informed on a daily basis, maybe on the internet, but in English or in your target language, then it's a win-win situation. You keep informed. And at the same time you will learn a new language.Thank you for listening. Daniel Goodsonwww.myfluentpodcast.com

But I was going to say it even changed the way business was done. It wasn’t all about money and getting rich and being greedy anymore. It was about providing for those less fortunate. Being rich became a bad thing. A shameful thing. And in the end everyone was brought together, while the world healed. I just thought you should know. I hope it helps wherever you are.
