AussieInBgMarch 2022 ”cut sth” and ”cut back on sth have different meanings. ”cut sth” = completely remove sth ”cut back on sth” = to reduce sth because you need to because of circumstances but not completely remove/stop it. |
fizzgigMarch 2022 Sometimes. ”Cut” can mean ”completely remove”, but it can also mean ”reduce”. Usually, it means ”remove” if you’re talking about something singular, but is more likely to mean ”reduce” if you’re talking about a quantity of something. ”Cut back on” always means ”reduce”. It’s often used when talking about spending less money. ”Cut down on” also means ”reduce”. It’s often used when talking about consuming less. |
AussieInBgMarch 2022 Australians and Kiwis sometimes use ”cut” by itself to indicate reduction rather than complete elimination, instead of ”cut back on”. But this is more like dialect/slang than standard English.
There’s much more to Australian/Kiwi English than words like ”g’day”
”cut back on” and ”cut down on” are pretty interchangeable. The only real difference in meaning is that ”cut down on” is probably a little more formal than ”cut back on”.
Australians (and I guess New Zealanders) would usually use ”cut back on spending/expenses” whereas Brits and Americans tend to say ”cut down on spending/expenses”, particularly in more formal contexts.

painsad1March 2022 Friday Night Funkin is not what you think when looking at the first images of the poster. It's literally the funniest witty music I've ever played. And the surprise is that it also has a storyline, not flying in and entering like other music games. No matter what the next steps are, in the beginning, I gave it an A+ because of the difference. The story of the game is divided into several weeks, representing the encounters and challenges of the godfather for you. Each week there will be 3 different difficulty levels. The harder it is, the faster your rhythmic coordination as well as your speed of grasping the notes should be. |
