Hi kohyoongliat,

According to an online dictionary

strictly speaking
properly speaking
technically speaking
in the proper meaning of the word

have the same meaning:
"if I want to be completely accurate in what I am saying".

Any native speaker out there with more on that?

Right, that's exactly the point. Many English expressions actually have the same meaning. Its just a bigger choice for the more adept to use. Just like instead of saying 'very fat' we say 'obese'. That's why English is a colourful language!!

Thanks for your replies.

Best wishes

I am suspicious of your cheating me.

Is the sentence grammatically correct?

Thanks in advance.
