@snailcar I was just thinking that if something awful were to happen to me, then my university will inform my dad who is in my home country. And he will then tell my friends and lovers. But no one will inform you guys, hence an absence of 4 months from ELL should serve as a message :P
@userr2684291 hmmm now that I think of it, if it's even a thing - I would like my precious reputation points to go to Eddie Kal. :D
So, a teenager was sitting next to me and drawing some anime characters. They were pretty good, but I gave some tips anyways. At first they were like "Do you even draw bro?" Hmmmmmm ... then I was like - okay - time to bring out my phone.
hmmm not that great I know, but the teen thought they were. hehehe
Ignore the eye left brow. I was young then. I should stop spamming.
I know I know I have more on the phone, I just did not want to spam this place any further. Thanks Eddie Kal. But that kid ended up asking me questions after I showed him some of these, particularly about fingers and hands.
Still waiting on M.A.R. to say something ruthless!
snailllllllcar, if I want to tell someone that I looked at their assignment/exam very [strictly] compared to others, what is the right word/verb I need? Like I paid extra attention to their work?
Which tense is correct to use?
"they were married for 14 years before divorcing in 2016" or "they had been married for 14 years before divorcing in 2016"
There's a relative event mentioned, i.e. before devorcing. So, to my mind, the only grammatical option is to use the Past Perfect. But why wo...
Iran needs to restrained and become "diplomatic", which seems to have as many meanings as there are news agencies around the world.
In this sense, it probably means kissing American boots, but gotta confirm with ngram.
Putting him in the same group as the likes of Bin Laden and Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi is disingenuous. Maybe it helps if they try to understand why most of the regime is unpopular and he wasn't, but eh, third worlders probably have a third of the brain too.
I digress.
Anyway, I also highly doubt anything really public will come of this.
So, I was just thinking of a "fun" situation that would never happen. If we all ever met, it would be quite cool to address each other by our profile names. Hello MAR! ... Hey, userr two six eight four two nine one!. I mean those are what we know each other by. A big gathering of ELL. Lots and lots and lots of foooooood. Hello snailcar!
