  1. Almost 100%. It’s only that my hand slipped on the mouse while clicking “Summer” and it came down to “Spring”. As a content writer, I have to keep myself updated with all these things.

    • In my country and language we say One swallow doesn’t make a spring. It is popular phrase here but translation is with spring not summer like in English, so people from my country make a mistake when it is about this English proverb.

      • Swallows do arrive in these islands (Ireland and Britain) in the spring, so it would be more logical to have the proverb with spring. I don’t know why we do it ‘wrong’ in English!
