Term for “Every 2 weeks”? I was pretty sure biweekly meant "twice a week". |

Percent, Percentage, Fraction, and Scale? @OliCharlesworth OK for the notation trick. But fractions are also defined for matrices, and there is no way to write them "by using decimals, percent signs, or negative exponents". I know Americans have a strong culture of fractions. I have not edited the WP page yet, but opened a discussion about the possible confusion rational number / fraction. |

Percent, Percentage, Fraction, and Scale? @onomatomaniak Yes 0.13 is the decimal representation of the same rational number than the one represented by the fraction 13/100. Isn't the wikipedia page confusing fraction and rational number? |

Percent, Percentage, Fraction, and Scale? The current function is inconsistent. How do you express 200%? Fix your function. Either getHealingBonus() that returns 0.07 for 7% (and 7 for 700%). Or getHealingBonusPercent() that returns 7 for 7%. |

Percent, Percentage, Fraction, and Scale? @OliCharlesworth indeed. I am going to fix this wikipedia page, because it is also incorrect "fractional numbers can also be written without using explicit numerators or denominators, by using decimals, percent signs, or negative exponents". Try to write 1/3 that way... |

Percent, Percentage, Fraction, and Scale? I am sorry to tell that you are wrong. 0.13 is not a fraction: 13/100 is. 13 is percent does not sound right either. |

Is there an English idiom for 'your silence implies your consent'? This is too tied to the wedding ceremony. I would be very surprise to see this idiom in a contract, or in oral speech (without implying the reference to the wedding ceremony) |

“How are you” in America (sorry, I'm not a native English speaker). When you refer moral superiority, are you refering to the meaning involved in I'm a good person. |

How many spaces should come after a period/full stop? The HTML specifications say [the browser] should collapse input white space sequences when producing output inter-word space. |

What does “8/7c” stand for? If it is 7pm in the Central Timezone, there is only one timezone where it is 8pm: The EST (Eastern Standard Timezone) |

Keep myself right on this train @Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I'm not asking for criticism, discussion nor analysis. I'm just asking for an explaination in plain English. Is this community going to close all the questions typed "what does ... mean?" |

Keep myself right on this train @JasperLoy music.stackexchange.com are for topics about practice & performance, composition, technique, theory, and history. Explaining the meaning of sentences, even lyrics, is definitely out of scope there. |

Formally introducing yourself in an email What's the point of giving your name when it is actually already available in the From field? Can't you write "Dear Mr Jones, I'm a code monkey, and I work..." |

When your 10-year old boy says “It’s meta,” what does it mean? In what situation and of what sort of object they use this phrase? Yes meta-data is data about data, like attributes, properties. |

Difference between “classical” and “classic” Also note the idiom "That's a classic!", for a typical joke or funny situation |
