Is “Far East” politically incorrect? @StoneyB this seems like a constructive question to me. I've seen plenty of "is this offensive" or "is this derogatory" questions on the site, and it's good to know what kind of language to use or not to use. This question is a good example. |

sentence pattern clarification Yes, but the pattern is still such even with re-wording. In both cases though, the "parents" is the indirect object. |

Term for homophones that have opposite meanings? Whole and hole do not have opposite definitions, but it can be argued that they can have opposite meanings. "Meaning" is a better word to use here. |

“Heard of anything” or “heard anything” Did you hear John's new movie isn't necessarily incorrect. You could be asking if they heard the movie (i.e.heard the sounds the movie produced). It'd be a weird question, but not incorrect. |

What's the meaning of “off the show everything”? I don't see why this deserves downvotes...if you hear something that makes so little sense, what's wrong with wondering about it? |
