Let's take a look at the note here. This quote is the title of a famous play by Shakespeare between 1598 and 1599. It has now become a common phrase to mean that someone is making a big deal and and a lot of noise and complaints about something most people would consider insignificant, not that important. So if we hear that we hear everybody's making a big noise about it, but like well, what is this ? Who cares ? We say oh much ado about nothing. All right. So let's continue here . Here, ado, it means in this situation means a lot of fuss or commotion. So ado means fuss or commotion. People yelling, screaming about something. But again about nothing. Nothing of major importance. So let's look at example number one. There are many articles in the media that seem to go out of their way to make much ado about nothing. Often to get different groups of people engaged in controversy. All right. I know maybe they like to sensationalize things. Maybe they like to create stories. Maybe they like to create controversy. Just because it makes it seem more exciting or maybe they have other reasons as well. Let's look at number two. Seriously, he is making this big a deal over something that costs less than one u.s. dollar. Talk about much ado about nothing. Yes. So we all used to talk about to emphasize something like, you know, talk about cheap, talk about stupid, meaning that this is a perfect example of this situation. So much ado about nothing. Too much screaming, complaining and fuss about something that's not really that big a deal. You know, life is, why you know, life is too important. We shouldn't be fussing over about this small stuff. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye bye
