What is the grammatical difference behind “is interesting” and “is interested”? @Jason: Yes, the parallel you mentioned seems to be causing the confusion. |

What is the grammatical difference behind “is interesting” and “is interested”? I think the confusion is because you think "interesting" is a verb, while actually it is an adjective. |

Pronunciation of 'cos' (as in the mathematical term) I like cinch for sinh, and kosh for cosh. By the way, how do you pronounce tan? Tangent or tangens? In Russian, it is tangens. |

Are you well? Happy New Year's Eve! Thanks a lot! For 1, could you please give another example that is more formal? Imagine you are in 15-th century and talking to a king or something. |

When did it become correct to add an “s” to a singular possessive already ending in “‑s”? How can I get data on Gauss' vs Gauss's? |

What does the phrase “before too long” mean? I gave this numbers to give a specific idea of what time frame we are talking about, and added the phrase "in your example" to convey the idea that the specific estimates depend on the context. I am not a native speaker so I prefer not to get too many upvotes, but I think it does not deserve too many downvotes either. Actually I think unless someone is just trolling or obviously talking past the question nobody deserves downvotes. But it seems a norm at exchange sites that you get downvoted at your first answer. |
