You don't have to zigzag, you can use straight stitch for it, but you make your first pass inside the seam allowance, then fold it over the stitching and stitch again.
Unfortunately there's no single answer that's easy to type and good typographically. Given the trade-offs, I'd have to say that the best answer is to leave it alone unless you're going to do it right and it's not the only edit you're making.
@KitFox Thanks for the feedback on the narrow space. I hadn't seen an actual example of it in use, but I suspect that it has similar problems to the precomposed ellipsis character.
The bitch question is turning out to be quite popular. I'm not surprised.
If I write these pairs of sentences:
1a The yard backs to a lake.
1b The yard backs up to a lake.
2a The stove backs to a wall.
2b The stove backs up to a wall.
Are the b-versions very different from the a-versions? What meaning does "up" add?
Cool. I was reading an answer on ELU and it said that the word trouble, when used with the present form of have , means that the problem is continuous. I dont think that's the case. *I have trouble understanding this homework. * Seems normal to me. What do you think? And it's not something continuous, but more like a temporary one time occurrence.
None of your examples is likely to occur as such in isolation and the exact form used would vary with context. For example, trouble can be used with the progressive form of have to produce a sentence such as ‘I’m having a lot of trouble with that.' When it is used with the present tense of have i...
@Cerberus Whatever happens I don't care. All I care about is the upliftment of the US economy because if it does not happen our IT industry will be diminished.
It's totally dependant upon the export of services to the USA.
He was planning to leak a couple of documents with "proof" that Assad had used poison gas, with a French flag on each page, in order to make sure that France wouldn't seem to be America's lap dog.
@EnglishMaster Well we are going to be the no 1 nation with highest population (current;y we are no 2 behind China). So Korea need to be scared of us :-D
@EnglishMaster Whenever I talk about South Korea, I imagine Samsung to be it's logo (I could not find a better word). Let me tell you, the top level Engineers of Samsung are hired from India. might be that's why your country is flooded with Indians :-P
But relevant to mention, I haven't watched much Hollywood movies on South Korea. They are made mostly on North Korea. So sadly I know very less about South Korea except Samsung :-D
I just took the bread out of my Samsung oven. Then I used my Samsung phone. But my monitor was made by LG! So it's not all Samsung. It's just all Korea.
@EnglishMaster, I know. Actually, if some foreigner is asked what comes to your mind first if asked about India, they say Gandhi. similarly, if somebody asks me about South Korea, I would go with Samsung. :-)
My monitor, TV, wife's phone, my previous phone, blu-ray player, digital-picture-frame, and several other things are made by Samsung. My work monitors are Dell so I don't know who made the insides.
@Mistu4u I don't know...if this is about word associations, I would say...large, Hindu, colours, IT, Taj Mahal, Delhi, maybe then Gandhi. If it's about mental images, I see the shape of the country on the map, warm colours, a woman in a bright purple dress with a yellow spot on her forehead, people sitting behind computers, Taj Mahal, cows, the Ganges...
@Cerberus I've never cared for BE's answers. They're always correct in the academic sense (that they're not wrong), but they rarely -answer- or explain the question. He could still keep it short if he just added one extra explanatory sentence.
@Cerberus Oh that? we had someone shoot you with a tranquilizer dart, and while you where out, we took all the furniture in your apartment, attached it to the ceiling, strapped you in, then shot you with an awakening dart.
Then before you could figure it out, another tranquilizer dart, took all your furniture down and put it back in exactly the same place as before. Shot you with an awakening dart again (Sorry! that must sting!) and that's why you're a little disoriented now.
Some questions, and some answers, have recently been inordinately long. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to impose a maximum number of words for each, just as there is a minimum number of words for answers and comments?
actually the video isn't that good. I posted before I watched. the Wikipedia article is better. Long story short: MS acquired a good phone company, made them use WinCE instead of whatever they had before, and then allowed in-fighting with Windows Phone to scuttle the project.
Ironically, the Kin could have MADE windows phone if it had been ready in time.
People who buy MS phones have been screwed time and time again when it comes to support and updates.
Hm, now that I think of it, really only Apple has been really diligent about getting updates to phones. They've done the best job of it.
