I have some questions, please
Hi!
Please, help me with the following:
a) What is the slang or colloquial English used to refer to a woman that didn't marry ?;
b) What 's the difference between wage and salary, once both mean the same = a payment earned by a job done. (?); By the way is it correct to write: ...both mean the same (?);
c) Here should I say: "It's not interesting for me" or "It's not interesting to me"?;
d) What do we call the "adversaries candidates" when we are looking for the same job? - Contestants?;
e) Is it correct to say: "Please, don't forget to centralize the topic in the sheet before starting to write the story. (?).
Thanks a lot;
Ty

; The word 'spinster' has almost become archaic now, I never hear it. Some people tried to popularize the word 'bachelorette', but that never seemed to become used much. I'd just say 'an unmarried woman', or 'a woman who has never been married'.
