Or Stranger Things, if anyone's been watching that.
I think that had a billion people streaming it on Netflix and crashed Netflix.
And I understand why, because it was a very entertaining show, I think.
Interesting.
I haven't watched that.
I should see that one.
But everyone likes that.
I know.
Especially for someone who's Gen X because it was all 80s.
It was very much what we grew up with.
So it's pretty fun.
And as an adjective, nearby is much more common than near.
They're both grammatically accurate, very possible in a sentence, but you'll hear nearby more.
For example, we can go to a nearby beach or they didn't move to the area due to pollution from a nearby factory.
So that word is an adjective describing the noun that's directly after a nearby beach, a nearby factory.
Yes, right?
So near is not as common, but it is in these chunks, like near disaster or near future, for example.
