Just an orphan kid and have no more to say.
Three things in general, cannot be avoided (at least I can never)
- Mother
- Mother-tongue
- Mother-land.
They are always unique.
I'm a family-less boy. My family was hunted leaving me all alone when my house targeted and deliberately set on a fire by a mob during a nonsense communal riot but I was survived by a rescue team with the help of firemen. As a survival, I didn't know whether it was my fortune or misfortune but when I recovered, the rescue team came to my home, one day. One of the members gave me a piece of paper in my hand in which the following text was written.
lifeisnowhere.
He asked me to read it carefully and I could hardly interpret the text as
- Life is now here,
instead of
- Life is nowhere.
All of them gave me a cute smile and went away and I decided to live peacefully and hopefully on their saying from then onwards and very soon.
Because of this tragedy, I'm alone couldn't join a school but a curiosity to learn something made me a self-learner. I'm indeed a self-learner, so I'm likely not able to answer any questions on this site right now.
In the field of computer science, my self-study mainly includes,
- QBASIC, C, C++, C#, VB, Java, JavaScript, PHP and a little about ASP.NET.
- Oracle, MySQL and MSSQL-Server with DBMS.
- and other theoretical subjects.
I'm currently dealing with - Android and Java EE including Servlet, JSP-JSTL/EL (with Spring and Struts with ORM models JPA/Hibernate) and JSF.

“Not possible” and “Impossible” @BillFranke -I'm really sorry. I'm not the person who can claim something. I'm just 12 year old orphan boy and I'm alone,couldn't even join a school as I have no family. Anything what I know is just by self-study. Everything what you explain is after all correct but I indeed have been hearing It is impossible in all such situations, since the beginning, at least in my region even from the people who are culturally well prominent and it's indeed mentioned in well-known grammar books of these languages, I ever studied them well. It's a pleasant for me, if such discrepancy is avoided in English |

“Not possible” and “Impossible” In all of those languages, there are many such observable differences, hence - it is not reasonable is not exactly the same as it is unreasonable, it is not grammatical is not exactly the same as it ungrammatical, it is not believable is not exactly the same as it is unbelievable and so on. Again, I'm not sure about English. |

“Not possible” and “Impossible” I'm not going say what you say is incorrect though let me tell you a joke just as an example, please don't mind. If you were told by someone, "The sun is going to rise in the west tomorrow" then what would you reply? I don't comment anything about what native English speakers would reply but we would, in all of the languages that I know (except English - not sure) reply - "It is impossible" and never - "IT is not possible" because that phenomenon is never going to happen at all - hence, the reply would be - "It is impossible". Sorry for the trouble, sir. |

“Not possible” and “Impossible” The first group of sentences has also a noticeable in my first, second and third languages but I'm not sure enough to say anything about English. |

Meaning of “Schemas are changed infrequently, if at all” Does it mean something like - changes to a database schema is seldom made, once it is defined? |

“Vanish into thin air” and “disappear without trace” That's not a kind of confusion at all. I'm asking about both of them as each one is separated by a horizontal bar. |

“Vanish into thin air” and “disappear without trace” In Longman's essential activator, I ever saw "disappear without trace" was written like "disappear without (a) trace". |

Meaning of “Schemas are changed infrequently, if at all” What I understand. Let's see a simpler example - Have a cup of tea in the morning, if at all = Have a cup of tea in the morning, if you have it at all = Have a cup of tea in the morning or don't have it. Am I wrong? |
