“same as” vs just “same” Yes, it seems like that may be the explanation. Hey, it's usually correct ;) |

Can anyone provide me with a list of English words that are their own antonyms? "Bolt" as a verb can mean "to run away" or "to fix in place (using a bolt)". |

How much punctuation is appropriate when ending a sentence with a full-sentence quotation? I'm confused... Aren't all my examples also cases where the outer sentence ends at the same place as the quoted sentence? "I smiled" is intended as a separate sentence in the first three cases. |

Term for catchy tune that stays in your head "Earworm" as an English word is a bit of a neologism, but catching on fast. I heard it about ten years ago. I didn't know it was a calque from German though. |

What is the correct pronunciation of “Caribbean”? Same here. I think this is one of those many occasions when American pronunciation emphasises the second syllable when British emphasises the first or third. There seem to be much more variant pronunciations that way round. |

What is the name of the first decade in a century? No. There was a phrase some magazines used, "the Naughty Noughties", which has the first and second word pronounced identically apart from the final "z". That phrase still has 20k Google hits, actually. |
