Hi, is there any difference between these two sentences: Let's jog round the lake. Let's jog around the lake. Thanks, Nicole _________________ Life is for living.

Hi Nicole,

You asked;

Quote:

Let's jog around the lake.

Not really any difference. Just perhaps that around indicates a longer circuit, at least in the mind. Note:

AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS
by
JULES VERNE

and

Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley

Just imagine rocking around the world in 80 days.
