Are “should” and “if” interchangeable at the beginning of a sentence? Here's an example: "If you declare bankruptcy, your account will be closed." means roughly the same as "Should you declare bankruptcy, your account will be closed." If you should find any syntactic or semantic differences between the two, please explain by posting your answer. |

How do you punctuate elliptical constructions? +1 for citing NASA. If we can put a man on the moon, we ought to be able to consistently punctuate an elliptical construction. |

English counterpart to Japanese signal word, “Dokkoisho” Note that 'oof', 'whew', and 'whoa' are all widely used by all age groups. A 20-year-old might say 'oof' when lifting a heavy appliance, while a 90-year-old might say 'oof' when standing up. |

Is there a polite alternative to “No thanks, I'm full”? Be careful not to mention dessert before your host does---it could be rude to imply that your host is obliged to provide dessert. If dessert was already mentioned previously, then this would be a great reply, I think even in a formal setting. |

When do we need to put a comma after “so”? "So let it be" can be read two ways: "Therefore let it be" (using "so" as conjunction for logical continuity) or "Let it be this way" (using "so" as adverb referring to a certain manner, which may sound archaic). |
