@EddieKal
Hey!
Are you here?
How are things?
 
5:53 AM
@AIQ Things are crazy
Everybody is insane
You?
 
AIQ
@EddieKal Who is this everybody?
 
Everybody I see, I hear, and talk to
Not very productive these days
Did you have something you wanted to talk about?
 
AIQ
Same here
I am slacking off ...
not really
sorry if I caught you at a busy or bad time
 
No, it's fine. I am doing some writing, but it is so terrible I can't continue anyway
Better to start over later
Did you ever notice some people unabashedly cross post here and on Word Referece?
It is not a big problem, but I'd like to see people putting that in their question if they decide to cross post
 
AIQ
@EddieKal Yeah I know what you are talking about. I am guilty of that too ... I did cross post in the past when I didn't know how to properly find what I am looking for ...
One big difference between ELL and WR is that WR encourages very individual specific questions, which ELL doesn't. And so sometimes asking in WR is helpful ...
 
6:07 AM
@AIQ You are on WR too?
@AIQ What are individual specific questions? Examples?
 
AIQ
Like I also feel I need to be at my best here in ELL, but in WR I can be a sore loser with with knowledge about English language
 
Do you know why it seems so many accounts have been banned on WR?
I often see accounts that show "banned"
And from what I understand a ban on WR is a permanent ban. That user may never come back?
 
AIQ
@EddieKal Like say I am writing an economics paper, and I have a question about how to convey a specific information about unemployment/inflation - that kind of things don't get a lot of answers because they aren't helpful to anyone else ...
@EddieKal Not sure. I go there rarely nowadays.

Q: Why is "science" in "Bachelor of Science" singular, whereas "arts" in "Bachelor of Arts" is plural?

AIQIn the following degrees — "Bachelor of Science" and "Master of Science" — "science" is an uncountable or singular noun. In contrast, in "Bachelor of Arts" and Master of Arts, "arts" is countable and plural. Wikipedia says the Master of Arts "degree is usually contrasted with the Master of Science."

 
I have an account on WR but I don't post there.
 
AIQ
but this one is no good to anyone

Q: How do you say that X has played a role in sustaining the difference between two things?

AIQLet's say different regions in a country are divided into two categories - high and low unemployment regions. Low unemployment regions have plenty of job opportunities, but workers in high unemployment regions won't relocate to these low unemployment (and high productivity) regions. This is becau...

 
6:11 AM
@AIQ Oh yeah I kinda miss epl
@AIQ I see what you mean and I agree
 
AIQ
I know a few regular users there -they are very helpful
February was horrible for me
 
How so?
 
AIQ
Where is Jason Bassford by the way?
I don't see his posts anymore ...
He was kinda great with his knowledge on grammar and stuff
 
@AIQ See Jason's profile. I think he must've been busy with his new job
 
AIQ
Hey there is a career fair tomorrow where I am meeting some employers
Don't know what to expect ...
 
6:15 AM
Good luck!
 
AIQ
Thanks ...
How was your weekend?
 
It was an okay weekend
I am constantly worried about getting infected
So I tend to stay home or where I don't have to meet a lot of people
 
AIQ
Oh, what is the Vaccine policy in the US for people your age?
I mean where do they fall in the priority scale?
Will you be taking any?
 
6:41 AM
@AIQ Varies from state to state. I don't think I am eligible where I am
I also would like to wait a bit to see if they will update the vaccine, which I think is bound to happen
But vaccine updates may not be publically announced as its advent
A new question begins with "help me please", lol
Every time I see "help me please" on the internet I think of the poster as possibly Japanese. Japanese internet users say that all the time
Koreans too I guess
