Car, Bus, Airplane, Truck excluding Bicycle genesis: Janet's answer makes sense to me! Does that work for you? Martha: thanks for correcting me on hyphens and dashes - I'll keep the distinction in mind! I've edited point #3 slightly, but I'm not sure I fully understand your problem with it. Feel free to edit the answer further if you think it's still unclear or incorrect! |

Word for person who loves to share knowledge Shinto: yeah, but it seemed so obvious to me that I felt I must have misunderstood the question, and was hoping for clarifications. |

What does “What are you up to?” mean? It's just an informal way of asking "What are you doing right now". See esl.about.com/library/lessons/blphrasalbuild.htm |

What words are commonly mispronounced by literate people who read them before they heard them? Ditto Leicestershire (obvious: lie-CES-ter-SHI-er, correct: LES-ter-sher), Warwick (obvious: WAR-wick, correct: WAR-rick). |

'to check' versus 'to verify' I think this might be the perfect answer: "to verify" is (according to a dictionary) "to confirm or substantiate". So you can check something (examine a property of that thing) but to verify something, you need some assumption that you are confirming or denying. kiamlaluno: If Sobachatina and I are right, you can say "verify the application output", but only if you have some expected value to compare it against. |
