[Avodah] our way of (roundabout) speaking

Quibble:

I would translate "im yitzeh H'" to "I want it to happen, and hope He
does to." However, "be'ezras Hashem" is a statement of intent -- "I am
going to try to do it, and I hope He allows me to succeed." There is a
slight difference between realizing the difference between hope and
bitachon and realiting the difference between hishtadlus and success.

E.g. Be"H we're going to the doctor tomorrow, iy"H they'll find a
medicine for him then.

Tir'u baTov!
