Omitting article “the” in front of plural nouns @rhetorician You are correct. It's just an example I made up, but you make a strong argument that it's an imperfect one. |

Omitting article “the” in front of plural nouns I see. Well, at least now I don't feel so inadequate for not being able to come up with the rule earlier. |

What's the meaning of boilerplate in programming? I would see this better at programmers.SE than here. But then again it got moved from there in the first place... |

Is there a phrase to say that someone's hidden intentions are revealed in his/her talk or movements? @Gilles But the public who would know the answer would be most likely be where? French L&U or English L&U? I'd say French. I'll move this aspect to the French Meta though. |

Is there a phrase to say that someone's hidden intentions are revealed in his/her talk or movements? I must say I'm a little miffed that this was moved to EU&L. EU&L is a fine community, but if translation is going to generate migrations between "to" and "from" languages, we might as well just have one big "all translations" SE site. It's not about one language or another, it's about both. |

Is there a phrase to say that someone's hidden intentions are revealed in his/her talk or movements? @Mitch It's an expression that means literally "your underskirt is showing", which is a locution, meaning "your hidden motive is showing." |

Is there a phrase to say that someone's hidden intentions are revealed in his/her talk or movements? I'm afraid not. It's closely related, but really the thing about the "underskirt is showing" is that hidden intentions or motives are apparent from one's actions or speech. That means the truth is known (or suspected), not that it will be known". |

I'm trying to teach Non-English kids the alphabet. What is a good list of words starting with A-Z? Plus its an excellent conversation piece, but I'm not adding that as an argument. |
