Please, don't - I'm not Thumbs up, to the comment above. If your character is someone who speaks like that, well, then it should be the author who decides on this. |

“A smile cures the wounding of a frown” @PeterShor but when you say wounds of war, you do mean wounds caused by the war, isnt it? Please correct me if I am wrong. |

“A smile cures the wounding of a frown” I am sorry, I dont know about the 'cover' usage of 'cure'. Can you please elaborate a little more on that? |

Idiom about a chicken or not? I think its not just about confusion. Its about a promise that was not fulfilled. Here, it is about interoperability of LISP and C/C++, whereas in the Hoover's election campaign it was about prosperity. |

How to pronounce the programmer's abbreviation “char” @FumbleFingers I dont know if a regional bias comes here again. But most people, (using AmE), I have met, say "kar", since after all, it is the abbreviation of character, which is pronounced with 'k'. Its usage usually sounds like you set off to say 'character', but didnt utter the sounds attributed to the last 5 letters. |

Are uncountable nouns considered irregular plurals like man men? @ColinFine yes, I got it after FumbleFinger's response. I took the uncountability to math. :) |

Is there a word for “one who has never sinned”? @tchrist I thought there is a Christian name for such a person, isnt there? That, having come from Greek or Latin could have been used, right? |

Are uncountable nouns considered irregular plurals like man men? +1 for good examples. What is the notion of countability doing here? EG. we say a real number, or the real numbers, even though they are uncountable, and same for an integer or the integers, which we call countably infinite. |

“We are all of us engaged in…” What does 'all of us' mean here? @FumbleFingers isn't this an adverbial adjunct? |

What is the word that describes ethical smartness? same question: Why would being ethical imply the presence of intellectual prowess? One may be smart, yet vicious. Many such examples.. I think the OP is looking for something that says, he is smart and yet virtuous, and it is his smartness that makes him that. What variety of smartness is that? Right-mindedness may mean virtuous, but not all virtual people intellectually above the usual. Think of say, Sherlock versus Moriarty! |

answered | Is “get” (in the sense of “become/make”) appropriate for formal writing? |

What is the word that describes ethical smartness? I prefer this. Wisdom it is that keeps you from wrongdoing. |
