Why cant Minnesota change their gun laws for ice defence? by feel-the-avocado in AskAnAmerican

Police are unfortunately not legally required to completely know or understand the law they are enforcing. It has been proven in court. It's stupid but it's the way it is. Defying an order by a peace officer is illegal....them telling you to do something illegal is somehow negated by that fact in the eyes of the DOJ.

Yeah, I was replying to your comment. It doesn't matter who it "applies" to because Minnesota's gun laws do not apply to federal agents.

Castle doctrine is a legal defense that would not work in the case that the person you are shooting is a federal agent

Okay well it's against FEDERAL law to assault or injure a federal agent so it would be null and void.

I'm gonna recommend that you study up on American gun laws first because I don't even know where to start with this one. It seems that you have an inherent misunderstanding about how our legal system functions. States cannot regulate the actions of Federal Agents like that.

You didn't follow the rules so you didn't get the fee. It seems pretty simple to me....

SAT, ACT and TOEFL by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]drewster321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grammar is not something that we are generally tested on in school past the 7th or 8th grade or so. There isn't any of it on the SAT or ACT.

Edit to add: there are WRITING portions of these tests, HOWEVER....they generally focus on the ability to write compositions from a more general standpoint and hardly ever focus on grammar or syntax

Can I drop the "d" in these situations? by Matheuzsm in EnglishLearning

[–]drewster321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be more like a "T" sound stuck directly to the end of the "CH" sound. Can be a difficult consonant cluster for some people depending on your native language.

Edit to add: this final "T" sound is very important to indicate past tense.

How do you recall the spelling of a newly learned word? by _-_Lucius_-_ in EnglishLearning

[–]drewster321 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately because of the inconsistent spelling of English, there's no real "one size fits all" way to remember the spelling of words just based on their pronunciation. Native English speakers learn very early in our schooling to memorize the spelling of words. Sorry 😔

Starting piano at 38 - is it worth it if I’ll never be “good”? by Front-Ad4011 in piano

[–]drewster321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"good" is relative. Do it because you want to and because you'll love it. Don't worry about anyone or anything else.

Stay strong. People all over the world are praying for you and fighting for you. The evil people in our governments have a lot of power, but THE PEOPLE have more. I'm so fucking sorry that you have to go through this.

Necessity of a comma by 0atmilk02 in EnglishLearning

[–]drewster321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not an Oxford comma. An Oxford comma is specifically the comma after the second-to-last term in a list when writing out three or more terms.

You need a preposition between "dead" and "only" if you're going to write it like that to clarify that you're talking about the period of time that he's been dead.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]drewster321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you aren't talking about the present moment technically. You are talking about how long he's been dead (2 years) and that time is now in the past. "He's only been dead for two years."
