In my Engineering drawing classes all geometry box stuffs including sharpeneres are used. I can't understand why has this become so obsolete to you guys unless you are totally in no touch with study?

I guess people use computers for everything?
I've never done any technical stuff at university.
In high school, I guess we probably used sharpeners.

I don't use computers for everything. I love paper! :-) I do prefer ink to pencil unless I'm drawing, but at some point I switched over entirely to mechanical pencils, and they don't require sharpening.

I really wish there was an easy way to begin a list with 3.

Markdown incorrectly assumes I'm starting a new list and rewrites it as 1.

Do decide and figure out mean the same thing?
Cerberus
Cerberus
No...
Figure out = to analyse, understand.

You can figure out what's wrong with something, or you can figure out the solution to a problem.

@snailplane yes
I figured out what I going to do, I decided what I am going to do
I think they might mean the same thing in this context?
Anonymous
Roughly. In that context, figured out means "what to do" was a mystery, and you had to figure it out.
Anonymous
You had to spend time thinking about it to figure it out.

"I was totally relieved when I saw that my phone had not been completely destroyed", what words similar to 'relieved' can I use here
Cerberus
Cerberus
Happily surprised?
Joe Dimaggio
Joe Dimaggio
yeah it fits in the context, sounds a bit odd
but I might be wrong
Cerberus
Cerberus
What are you trying to do?
Just use relieved.
Nothing can really replace it.

I must admit, I didn't quite understand the purpose of the question about chemistry, either.

@JoeDimaggio Are these questions to help you develop your vocabulary, perhaps?

Yeah, I don't get it either.
Is he trying to better understand what the word means? Or what?
