The difference between two numbers is the excess of one over the other.

Some time in the month o' August, I think it wur, I found myself in London wi'out a tarnation cent.

Temperatures in the western suburbs of Sydney, far from the upmarket beachside glamour, reached 47C (117F) last week, topping the 44C I experienced there the week before. For reference, if it reached 47C in the middle of the Sahara desert, that would be an unusually hot day.

But it was good milk to drink and after crossing the six-week desert of milklessness, it tasted of ambrosia.
