“did shoot” vs “shot” At the time I hadn't realised the significance of the previous paragraph. I was so stuck on the (to me) odd "did" that I wasn't reading it in context. It took this question to go back and see it in the correct light. |

“did shoot” vs “shot” Good answer. For some reason I have trouble reading the "do" as adding emphasis but I (do?) understand the logic. Thanks! |

When is it acceptable to use Internet abbreviations such as “u” or “r”? I think this question is a bit subjective. From the FAQ: "This is not a discussion board, this is a place for questions that can be answered!" "U" and "r" aren't English words and whether they're acceptable or should be avoided is context-dependent. You might not want to use them in your business plan but might feel comfortable sending an IM asking "r u hungry?" to a colleague. I don't think there's really a question to be answered here. |

What alternative would you suggest to “in/with regard(s?) to”? Regarding is good. Orwell's rule no. 3: "If it is possible to cut out a word, always cut it out." |
