Oliver Whitcombe

Oliver Whitcombe is a British writer and language enthusiast who has been fascinated by English expressions since childhood, when his grandmother told him he was "born with a silver spoon" and he spent a week trying to find it. He created Idiom Looms to help learners and native speakers alike make sense of English idioms. Their origins, their meanings, and the moments they're best used. His writing mixes plain explanations with a good dose of British wit. Oliver lives in England, where he divides his time between writing, walking, and correcting everyone's grammar (politely).
