Is English the only language that distinguishes thumbs from other fingers? @Robusto It does answer my question, as FumbleFingers points out, which is why I accepted it. |

Is English the only language that distinguishes thumbs from other fingers? @Mitch I think that she was referencing the (now proven false) idea that other languages don't distinguish between fingers and thumbs. |

Difference between “I was being careless” and “I was careless” If I were to attempt to use the latter phrase, I would probably clarify it with a specific event. |

Difference between “robot”, “machine”, and “automaton” "These aren't the automatons you're looking for..." |

Difference between “I was being careless” and “I was careless” "Being busy" is valid. See my comment on rudra's answer. I can't see how "being tired" is valid, though, since it's an involuntary state. |

Is English the only language that distinguishes thumbs from other fingers? Is it common, in the French language, to refer to thumbs as doigt instead of pouce? |

Difference between “I was being careless” and “I was careless” I'd argue that "I am being busy" is valid in certain ways, e.g. in the context of avoiding someone: "I am being busy on purpose, so that he doesn't bother me." |

Is English the only language that distinguishes thumbs from other fingers? @FumbleFingers You may be sure, but I am not. That's why I asked the question. Without evidence, there's no answer. |

Is English the only language that distinguishes thumbs from other fingers? Could the downvoter please explain the NARQ close vote? This is clearly a well-defined question, albeit not strictly within the realms of English language. This is the closest SE site that the question would fit into. |

Is there a word that means both opening and closing a door? @Robusto Yup, I just implemented it. ICantFindMyKey has a method called Resolve, that, in its current implementation, returns "It's in your back pocket.". |

Is there a word that means both opening and closing a door? @Robusto After a quick search of my normal project directories, it appears I have 6 classes called Door in a variety of languages. Take your pick. |

You quench your thirst. What do you do with your hunger? I've heard satiate used in this context, more than any other word. |

How to answer “Is this John?” on phone "Speaking" is usually used to respond to "Can I speak to <name>?" |
