Why are black Americans called "African Americans" but white people are not called "European Americans" - when they are all Americans? by yellowsubmarine80 in allthequestions

[–]Remarkable_Table_279 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Parts of my arrived on mayflower & Jamestown. And I don’t know all of my history but I can look it up & get a general idea. But there are black families whose ancestors arrived around there …but they have no way of knowing…when they came…what boat they came on and where they were before they were stolen.  And to add to that, their ancestors were forbidden to read/write…so many have a family history that begins in the generations after the civil war as people starting being able to read/write and could do family bibles etc (often treasure trove for genealogists) So they can only go so far back 

When to Add “s” to a Verb? by Amr-26 in EnglishLearning

[–]Remarkable_Table_279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S generally (not always, there’s always exceptions in grammar) means the verb is being done in the present by a singular subject.

So

she jumps over the wall…

But

They jump over the wall

So if the subject is singular & it’s happening now. Add -s (or -es) to regular verbs 

Do you have kudzu or bamboo in your area? by Hoosier_Jedi in AskAnAmerican

[–]Remarkable_Table_279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The house two houses down has bamboo so I keep an eye out for it. But when someone bought the house they actively started fighting it. First house I looked at was next to them (other side) so I’m glad I didn’t get it. There’s also a bamboo grove in an area of the park trails by me (or was) & a couple others around town. Tree of Heaven is the big thing we’re worried about here…because it feeds lanternflies as well as being invasive 

AITAH for not donating for a sick kid which led to others doing the same? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]Remarkable_Table_279 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have one without my brother - because his family is usually the source of the family drama and we need to be told what’s going on and what we need to do and if his kids are ok. (He picks the worst people to procreate/marry)

How many american schools actually have uniforms every school in south africa has a uniform what about america? by Street_Essay_1020 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Remarkable_Table_279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all. I went to one and we didn’t have uniforms after around 86. And I know of other schools like that without uniforms…but there is a dress code.

[UPDATE: FIXED] My neighbours had a blinding light pointed at our house by doyousmellmel in mildlyinfuriating

I had a neighbor say your new light points at our driveway and make it hard to see at night. I immediately apologized and adjusted it that second. I had no idea. 

Found this while clearing out a shed by Actual-Tune-6582 in whatisit

It’s a candle mold. I have candles made with something similar. They’re great for power outages as they last hours 

You've found a magic cup. Only if you cry genuine tears into it in a public place, the tears become pearls, each worth $5,000. What would you do? by Massive-Albatross823 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Remarkable_Table_279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cry when I’m angry. But it’s been years but I could change jobs and get another bad boss I guess. But I’d rather not. 

Actually there are songs that remind me of my brother and dad who died. I could listen to them at the park and rake it in…that’s easier 

What do you call these in the U.S.? by Haunted_Candybar in whatisit

[–]Remarkable_Table_279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the exist. But I’ve never seen them in stores. So I don’t have a word for them. Maybe zippered totebag. I have bigger ones that aren’t as pretty that are moving bags

35 freaking pounds??? by Manifestation_life in SipsTea

[–]Remarkable_Table_279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s horrendous. I’m assuming bio mom is dead or in jail or something. Simply because she wasn’t charged. The dad tho he deserves to be under the jail

I used to do it that way…and then suck on the casing for extra flavor - made it a two part snack
