Today I have a somewhat funny but serious question:
What medium soft flattery can you say to women without interpreting it as turn on or call the police :)).
e.g. can you say sweety or is it too intimate?
When we use when or if or any other subordinating conjunctions (unless, because, and once, etc) to talk about a thing a non-specific person might have done in the past, do we use past tense?
Example 1: (when writing an article and referring to the reader's past.)
(1) If you had an unhappy ch...
It's a tough choice, and I'm not sure how to handle it. A fraction slash is technically a more appropriate thing to use there (there's probably a separate character for 1/1000, however), but a normal slash is more customary.
@AIQ Thanks AIQ for help! I decided to let the change happen in the title because I googled "1/1000 English fraction" and this question doesn't come up. Ofc it might be because web crawlers haven't found it yet.
This thread from a different website does show though
It doesn't render in the same way in Firefox, however, but it still finds it.
@M.A.R. You know everything's Unicode, right? Haha. (Except when it isn't.) But I get your point. But these search engines probably map all these different slashes in results and in the search string to a single slash. The same with letters with diacritics on them, etc.
In everyday language, people call "1/100" 1 percent. How do I say "1⁄1000"?
O point one percent
1 thousandth
or something else?
