Kind'a


Just to clarify...

The phrases

"A kind of ~"

and "Kind of like a ~"

are very different.

"A robin is a kind of bird"

means that a "robin" is a particular type of bird,

like an owl or pigeon etc.

Whereas "A bat is kind of like a bird"

means that a bat is similar to a bird but not a bird.

So listen carefully next time you hear "KIND OF"

(Which BTW often sounds like "Kinda")
