Hello guys should I use "to" or "for"?
Do I need to be registered before I can apply for university or Do I need to be registered before I can apply to university

I don't understand. Don't other languages ignore their rules of grammar for stylistic or creative purposes? Why is this a revelation to anyone? If my husband taught me the basics of Japanese (which he's probably forgotten by now), would I be so focused on it that I would forget, let's say, that I was reading a novel vs. a book report?
What I am really looking for is "some entity who does not belong to certain domain but happens to possess the traits of the entities from that domain". The entity, traits, and domain can all be anything.
For example, a foreign can share similar value/custom/preference with the locals.
Any answe...
Take three examples:
"To give back to his community, Chris helps clear the roads around
his neighborhood of any loose trash."
"Sarah felt that when using torrents, she should not only leach, but seed for others.

a word to describe this situation where you understand something completely. There is nothing you do not know about it. Not solely understanding in a cold, detached technical understanding but in an emotional, deep, wholly accepting kind of comprehension. As when writing to one's True Love, it in...
In a sentence of this kind, in a programming environment:
This construct is "in a self explanatory manner" not interpretable, since it raises an ambiguity over the language´s syntax which is not determinable by the language itself.
"Obviously" would fit the case of a clear wrong syntax, but...
@Educ Hmm I could very easily answer that but I have answered numerous queries of yours here but you didn't bother to say anything that showed me it was helpful, not even a "thank you" so I'd rather not bother I think.
@Izanawistaria I'm really sorry I didn't mean to not replay you I m under stress due to exams day. I really appreciate your help and Thank you so much sorry again my respect
1) create challenges for yourself- "read ten pages in the next \time_period{}", "read three poems today"
2) read stuff similar to or related to what you are studying, or find out stuff about the context (period/setting/culture) which will give you an insight into why things were written
3) (Shakespeare-specific) Read it out loud. No, seriously. Shakespeare comes to life much better when it's performed, if even it's you to yourself
4) bite the bullet and accept you have to do things you don't enjoy sometimes
Suggestion #4 might seem a little harsh; it's hard to do things you don't enjoy, but hopefully you can find some tangential way of making them enjoyable
As someone who struggles with motivation with 'optional' things sometimes, you have my sympathy
Why do the big point-y ones, just some, like to...make OPs languish in their theoretic drivel before they're directed to ELL? Help is always more helpful, isn't it? Oh, I forgot. Education costs no matter where ya get it.
Those were things that stood out. everything else is very natural English for that subject area. Native speakers might make some errors too (but not the same ones)
One last thing, I've just added: Consider that a band needs a male choir, violins, cellos and percussions to play it and that all the soundtracks in the games were made by top musicians.
@Mitch I don't have anything against meritocracy per se.
Talents, esp young talents, could be cultivated while instilling into them a sense of responsibility to society, or they could be cultivated while accumulating an air of superiority and independence or condescension to other people.
That's on the inside. On the outside, talents could be held responsible to pay back (as it were) what was especially spent on them, or they could be given a green light to personally reap as much benefits as they can.
It's kind of analogous to laissez-faire libertarianism vs socialism in economics.
I actually don't remeber the article exactly. I only hope this is relevant enough.
@KannE I read your vent too. Venting is good once in a while.
But just two lines isn't venting, I was thinking maybe a wall of text.
@Educ Seems fine to me. But the definition of culture goes like this with "a":
"A culture is a way of life of a group of people--the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them..."
You can Google it. Your sentence is on Google too but perhaps written by a non native speaker of English? I don't know.
I am in search of a word that describes a decision that is best for one's own good (and possibly others), but is not superficially desirable or intuitive.
I appreciate the effort
@Izanawistaria right girl breaks up immediately. Left girl has a smile because she broke up with that 'wandering eye' dude, even if it is for his current gf, right gf, who eventuallly becomes left gf
@Educ haven't you read the news lately? It's not that great
@Færd We have some symptoms here as well, under the influence of a certain foreign culture.
I would not even call that meritocracy (an ugly hybrid anyway), for the merit of people is not measured adequately.
Does a lawyer really benefit society 50 times more than a cleaner?
Cf. Graeber's 'Bullshit Jobs'.
Some high-paid jobs are even estimated to be a net loss to society, which may include some lawyers, but also stock brokers, some bankers, rappers, etc.
And I think some people among the American left are more blind to this than elsewhere.
They go to super expensive universities that have created their own system to call each other 'the best'. See also the problem with academic journals, which is basically the same issue.
> On graduation days, members for the educated class give their young Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” which shows a main character, “you,” who goes on a solitary, unencumbered journey through life toward success. If you build a society upon this metaphor you will wind up with a society high in narcissism and low in social connection.
Narcissism is an apt characterisation.
This focus on achievement, status, money, ambition is detrimental to those aspects of society that are less measurable but very important, such as morality, art etc.
