What is the Difference between HOUSE and HOME?

By -

Firstly, take some of these sentences and replace home with house...

 1) Let's go home! ✔️
    Let's go house! ❌

 2) Home sweet home! ✔️
    House sweet house! ❌

 3) It's time for homecoming! ✔️
    It's time for housecoming! ❌

 4) Let's go homeward! ✔️
    Let's go houseward! ❌

 5) I am homeless... ✔️
    I am houseless... ❌

6) This place is home to many strange creatures... ✔️
    This place is house to many strange creatures... ❌



Think about it for a minute...

 HOUSE means a building where you live as a home and
HOME means your place of living.

 But...

 Those are the same things aren't they???
Let's check the online definition of HOME...
The place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household.
Now let's check the online definition of HOUSE...
A building for human habitation, especially one that is lived in by a family or small group of people.
What is the difference???

 Look at the word "one" in the definition of HOME and the word "human" in the definition of HOUSE.
The word "one" could mean that anything can live in a HOME, but, looking at the word "human", we know that only humans can live in HOUSES.

 Next, look at the word "place" compared to "building".
The word "place" means 'anywhere in general' but a "building" is 'a man made structure'.

 Finally, the ending of both definitions are pretty similar, aren't they?

 No they aren't...

 "a member of a family or household"
VS
"a family or a small group of people"

 The keyword is "member".

"Member" implies that you do NOT own the house, but you are just a part of the family that does.

 The home is just your place of living.

 e.g. MY HOME could mean where I live with my family

 and...

 e.g. MY HOUSE means that I bought it and I am saying that it is MINE.

 ALL MINE!!!!

 BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Anyway, so her is the difference in a few simple lines...
Your HOME isn't necessarily owned by you but it is your place of living. HOME could also be another thing's place of living. Your HOUSE is a man made structure you stay in which is yours. It is lived in by only humans.
TheEndThatWasSimpleButVeryFun!!!!!!!!
BAIIIIII!!!!!!!

I just want you bloggers to know: Milestones are not resting places. It means, once we have reached 200 posts, we don't have to stop! And readers, if you count all of our posts, and realise that there are less than 200, I'm counting drafts as well.  Hahaha!  ðŸ˜ˆ  ðŸ˜¡ ! I dare not post this afterwards, because someone else will post the 200th and it won't be this post. This post is kind of bad. I really want to thank everyone for their support, and everything!

I Have No Idea What To Name This Post

By Anonymous -
The mist hung over us like a blanket, it's cold fingers probing the goosebumps on our arms.  Clumps of heather stuck out of the ground.  I was furiously polishing my glasses; the vision through them was distorted and unclear.  The mist, again, the heavy atmosphere it created, digging into my thoughts no matter how I tried to remove it. Having already shouted myself hoarse, I curled up into a tiny ball, pretending I was in the warmth of my cosy and comfortable home. The girl looked so helpless, unable to rise from the earth.  The mist was relentlessly pelting against us, so I felt the need to help her. A form appeared out of the swirling mist.  It seemed ten feet tall, but I'm sure it was anything but.  The form bent over me, I could now see that it was about my height.  Still, I couldn't help but cringe away from anyone touching me.  I can't remember the last time I let someone willingly touch me.  It seemed like such a long time ago.  It was such a long time ago.

See the Chinese brush pen is this complicated thing you use to make Chinese characters. This is what a Chinese brush pen looks like: So guys, this is a Chinese brush pen. Holding a Chinese brush pen is harder than looking at it. You have to use smartness in the mind... And that is my fabulous psychology in brush pens. Bai!!! Just joking... This is how you hold the Chinese brush pen:                                                                                                    That is my hand, holding the brush.  So, I hope you've learnt alot. JK.  Let's continue.... The picture below has demonstrated me having written my Chinese name on a piece of paper:                                           These are the Chinese strokes you need to know:                                                  1.
