The general layout for an idiom post includes the the keyword in the heading (Ex: accent reduction idiom 1___ accent reduction idiom 2___ etc.) followed by a brief 1-2 sentence description of the idiom in layman's terms and an example sentence showing the idiom being used in proper context. The idiom origin, constituting the majority of each article, comes last. While we prefer the idiom origin portion of each entry to maintain a professional tone, if you wish the example sentences can have more of a humorous slant provided the humor isn't vulgar or crude. Regardless of which approach is taken, the goal is to realistically portray how the idiom would come up in everyday conversation without sounding contrived.
