SATISFACTORY vs SATISFYING

We use satisfactory when we want to describe something that meets basic standards or requirements.

We use satisfying when we want to convey a sense of pleasure, fulfillment, or contentment.

Is that clear? I’m not going to give you examples but rather a test:

1. “The results of the experiment were satisfactory and met all the necessary criteria.” 🧪

2. “The book was incredibly satisfying, leaving me with a deep sense of joy.” 📚

3. “Her explanation was satisfactory and covered all the points needed for understanding.” 📝

4. “Helping others can be very satisfying, providing a sense of purpose and happiness.” 🤝

Such a great song, right? But why ‘Birds of A Feather’ ? 🤔

Well, it comes from the expression - BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER - people who have similar interests or characteristics tend to spend time together.

"At the beach, all the surfers gathered in one spot. Birds of a feather flock together." 🏄‍♂️

"During the high school reunion, it was clear that old friends, being birds of a feather, still flock together." 🦅

"Artists and musicians often collaborate because birds of a feather flock together." 🎶

"Those two are always together because they're birds of a feather." 🦜

NOTE
to flock - gather or move in a group
stick together - stay close or support each other

This news report discusses the rise of anti-tourism protests in Spain, particularly in cities like Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca. Local residents are expressing frustration over the negative impacts of mass tourism, including overcrowding, rising living costs, and the disruption of daily life. Such protests are highlighted as part of a broader European trend where popular tourist destinations grapple with balancing tourism benefits against the challenges it brings to local communities.
