What's a collective name for the states of Alaska and Hawaii? @MarkBeadles yes, I see that. I wasn't saying that it was an issue, just stating the reason for the downvote. |

“Make something out of” or “Make something with”? @FumbleFingers ohh I see your point. I think that is a regional thing. "Make into" is definitely acceptable from my understanding of English (American). |

“Make something out of” or “Make something with”? @BillFranke I absolutely abhor when that happens. Especially at times like this, when the alternate answer is perfectly valid. Tests should assess your knowledge of English, not your knowledge of what was covered in lecture last week. Sounds like a really lousy quiz. |

What is a communication breakdown caused by two cultures/societies trying to adapt one another's mores called? @Mitch culture clash seems close, but according to this wiki answers page, culture clash just means the misunderstandings and disagreements caused by the need to learn a new culture's behaviors. |

What is a communication breakdown caused by two cultures/societies trying to adapt one another's mores called? @AffableGeek Not really. It's more like when two people try to mutually bridge the culture gap, and in the end both just keep ending up on opposite ends of the gap. It's more of a deadlock caused by bridging the gap. See coleopterist's answer,he has the right idea. |

What is a communication breakdown caused by two cultures/societies trying to adapt one another's mores called? And likewise, my first instinct is to do as the "Romans" do, since I'm in "Rome". So what I'm really looking for is a name for this kind of communication breakdown/deadlock. |

What is a communication breakdown caused by two cultures/societies trying to adapt one another's mores called? I use this idiom all the time when I'm with fellow tourists complaining about not being able to walk while eating lol. That isn't what I'm looking for though, because I'm "in Rome", but the "Romans" are doing as I do. |

What part of speech is “worth”? This is actually a tough question. The wiktionary says "The modern adjectival senses of worth compare two noun phrases, prompting some sources to classify the word as a preposition. Most, however, list it an adjective, some with notes like 'governing a noun with prepositional force.' Fowler's Modern English Usage says, 'the adjective worth requires what is most easily described as an object.'" |
