How do you call “gift CDs” that you select music for manually? Oh, I apologize. I see now what you meant. |

On Saturday afternoon or in the Saturday afternoon? This doesn't seem stupid. It seems like a different preposition for three different types of temporal distinctions, which makes sense. |

How do you call “gift CDs” that you select music for manually? I've never heard of a commercial compilation being called a 'mix CD'. And the ambiguity is resolved by saying something like "Here, I made you this mix CD." |

Is “what’s” a correct short form of “what does”? A mildly interesting interjection: In spoken English (around me, at least) most people add a vowel sound between the word and the 's. So "What's she do?" would be pronounced "What-is she do?" (But not for other 's contractions: "What's she in for?" would be pronounced as written.) |

Is there any adjective synonymous to “to the point”? @brilliant You're right, but as I said, I wouldn't use "to the point"ness to describe the progression of the students' answers. I offered two words: one for what I thought you meant and one for what you said. I would say that the last student's answer is the "most accurate", but I would also say that the best one-word replacement for "to the point" is "succinct". Does that help? |
