Feb 6	comment	How should a person holding a foreign military rank be addressed? Benny Gantz just received the legion of merit and the document (images1.ynet.co.il/PicServer3/2013/02/05/4443813/2_wa.jpg) puts his rank as Lieut. Gen. This strengthen your answer even more.

Feb 1	comment	How should a person holding a foreign military rank be addressed? @terdon, I'm not sure how to group all the "European" languages vs. non European languages, like Hebrew, Japanese, Chinese, Farsi, Arabic and so. If you have a better definition, feel free to edit.

Oct 2	comment	Why are integrated circuits called “chips”? @AndewLeach, The source doesn't explain Why are ICs called "microchips", the explanation that chip is short for Microchip is reasonable and I think it's true, but it doesn't explain how did the name "Microchip" originated.
Oct 2	comment	Why are integrated circuits called “chips”? The citation is from me, I'm an Electrical engineer. A microchip is made from two different parts. The IC which is the electrical component "printed" on a semi conductor (most of the times, Si, but sometimes can be Ge, GaAs, C and other materials), and the package which is responsible for protection of the IC and for heat dissipation. A "chip" or a "microchip" is the whole component, IC and Package together.
Oct 2	comment	Why are integrated circuits called “chips”? the chip is not the peace of silicon inside the package, it's in fact the IC itself, the chip is the full package with the IC, as can be seen in a description of a picture in the Wikipedia article for IC `Wide angle shot of the memory microchip shown in detail below. The microchips have a transparent window, showing the integrated circuit inside. The window allows the memory contents of the chip to be erased, by exposure to strong ultraviolet light in an eraser device.`

Jul 11	comment	Can you say “Why Tom let Katie win” So if the magazine had an article that answers "Why did the chicken cross the road", they could write on the cover "Why the chicken crossed the road" as a statement?
