'Patriotism' is to 'Country' as _______ is to 'City' @user8809: Understood. I generally don't like cutting-and-pasting, though, which is what this can lead to. Paraphrasing takes longer, or more thought. :-) |

Do you have English counterpart to “To ask a question is a shame of a moment. Not to ask the question is a shame for whole life”? I like the similar phrase: "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, he'll ask if fish roe is on the exam." |

Which of these is the correct usage “working [with / on / in]”? @Martin Beckett: yes, making the "technologies" more specific definitely improves the meaning in that option, too. |
