I don't think they all serve the same purpose. At least they shouldn't. Personally, I interpret these four tags as follows:
single-word-requests is for word requests, i.e. questions that ask if there's a single word that matches a given definition (“community of experts”, “obsession with publis...
We regularly use these "hi visibility jackets/vests":
We use them often enough to informally abbreviate it to simply "hi vis".
I am struggling as to how to pluralise such a term. In speech it sounds moderately okay to say "hi vises" but as you can see it looks terrible in writing. Any better ...Il cotillon ( "gonnella") è un'antica danza francese, risalente agli inizi del XVIII secolo e considerata l'antesignana della quadriglia.
La danza era eseguita da quattro coppie che si disponevano a quadrato, eseguendo nove figurazioni: queste nove figurazioni erano tutte diverse, alternate però da una figurazione che si ripeteva sempre uguale. L'esecuzione era alternata inoltre dalla presenza delle coppie danzanti: prima entravano in scena la prima e la terza coppia, poi la seconda e la quarta.
La dama aveva un ruolo da protagonista nel ballo-gioco: era sua facoltà cercare di attirare ...

Loneliness is an unpleasant feeling in which a person experiences a strong sense of emptiness and solitude resulting from inadequate levels of social relationships, however it is a subjective experience. Loneliness has also been described as social pain - a psychological mechanism meant to alert an individual of undesired isolation and motivate her/him to seek social connections.
Common causes
People can experience loneliness for many reasons and many life events are associated with it. The lack of friendship relations during childhood and adolescence, or the physical absence of meaningfu...
I use yeah or yep/yup when speaking casually. I tend to use yep/yup when it is being spoken by itself. I also would correspondingly use nope in the same way.
Did you do it?
Yeah, I did it
Yep.
La Strage di Capaci è l'attentato mafioso in cui il 23 maggio 1992, sull'autostrada A29, nei pressi dello svincolo di Capaci e a pochi chilometri da Palermo, persero la vita il magistrato antimafia Giovanni Falcone, tre agenti della scorta, Vito Schifani, Rocco Dicillo, Antonio Montinaro.
L'espressione "Strage di Capaci" è in effetti errata: è vero che la strage avvenne nei pressi dello svincolo autostradale di Capaci ma il luogo si trova nel territorio del comune di Isola delle Femmine. In siciliano l'espressione utilizzata per indicare l'eccidio è "l'attintatuni", "il grande attentato"...

The primary languages of the Calabria region are Standard Italian and many regional varieties of the Italo-Dalmatian group collectively known as Calabrian (Italian: calabrese). In addition, there is a significant Calabrian version of the Griko language and pockets of Occitan and Arbëresh.
Calabrian (Calabrese)
Calabrian (it: Calabrese) is the name given to a number of dialects spoken in the Calabria region of Italy. The various dialects of Calabria are part of a strong continuum that are generally recognizable as Calabrian, but that are usually divided into two different language groups....
How would you describe the pronunciation of r to somebody who speaks English as second language?
For a long time I was wondering why there is I win instead of I won. I met such usage in a lot of games and movies.
For me, it's logically to say I won, because this winning action is done already. I win for me seems like I'm winning right now.
So please, clarify this for me. Thanks in advance.
Which of these forms is correct and preferred in which English dialect?

Tetrahydrocannabinol ( ) (THC), also known as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), Δ1-THC (using an older chemical nomenclature), or dronabinol, is the main psychoactive substance found in the cannabis plant.

It was first isolated by Yechiel Gaoni and Raphael Mechoulam from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, in 1964. In pure form, it is a glassy solid when cold, and becomes viscous and sticky...
