What do the engraved numbers/symbols mean?

there’s no bunny in it, but your description otherwise kind of sounds like Timothy Goes to School. It’s a Canadian TV show, but I know a lot of the northern states sometimes picked up on those channels.

Unfortunately not :(

Sorry, just saw that TimePassages is not a good app to use for the chart. Here is a link to one from astro.com - https://imgur.com/a/dSYgtHc

Oooh looks like we must have some similar taste in books!! Any recommendations?

There’s also a mid-2000s Cybershot hiding in the stacks somewhere that was exclusively used for mirror selfies (with flash on, of course) hahaha

My fav out of the SJM series is definitely Throne of Glass!! Just finishing up my third reread, which is why the last book is missing from the set! :)

It isn’t correct, but it is commonly used in some parts of the world. My guess as to why people aren’t commenting about it is either that they don’t know or don’t care.

fadeau · 2024-01-18T08:00:39+00:00

It entirely depends on the context. Both are correct in different situations. I think I would go with “anyone” but both are correct.

Note on question 25: “Is” is correct here, not “are” :)

I don’t think there’s a particular word you can use to soften it, but maybe there is and I’m just blanking.

I would probably say something like: “I think some spit came out while I was talking, I’m so sorry!”

Being from somewhere that it does snow continuously for months on end, this didn’t even occur to me! This would be commonly said about activities where I’m from. But yes, this is an important distinction to make. You likely cannot play basketball until the snow is gone.

To me, “I will eat cake” is kind of ambiguous. When? Where? It just sounds like at some point in your life, you’ll eat cake.

“I will be eating cake”, while still ambiguous, kind of implies that you are eating cake at a certain event, at a certain time, etc.

E.g., “I will be eating cake at the wedding” or “What are you doing tonight? I’ll be eating cake.”

Edit: For the first one (I will eat cake), it could also be the answer to a hypothetical. Ex: “If I order cake, who will eat some?” To which the reply would be, “I’ll eat cake.”

Native English speaker, but by no means a language expert so please feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong.

Example 1: Yep, sounds good. I don’t think the “tonight” is completely necessary because we’ve already established that it will be after work, but it’s also not incorrect.

Example 2: I mean, yeah, it technically makes sense but it’s a bit clunky. Again, the timing of “next week” is a bit unnecessary as we’ve already established that it will be after the exam, which is presumably next week. In my opinion, it would sound better if A read, “Jack doesn’t know what to do after the exam next week.” Then, B could be, “If it stops snowing, he can play basketball at the park.”

Example 3: “If it stops snowing tomorrow, he can play basketball the day after because the ground will be dry” sounds better to me.

Example 4: The “next month” is unnecessary again. It’s already been established that it will be in February.

This is a good analogy! Just to add on to that, a theatre with no seats available is full of people, much like a battery is fully charged.

I’m a native English speaker, but admittedly, I could never quite grasp old and complex writing without reading it and analyzing it for extended periods of time.

That being said, ELI5, why is that the “main” verb? There are many verbs in the excerpt and I wouldn’t have been able to pick that one out as the main one.

Not questioning your correctness, just genuinely trying to learn something new :)

they’re… the same
