it is obvious for who writes, but not for asker. If it were obvious, he wouldn't have asked in the first place

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 03:05

like when one reads math texts (including at Math SE) and you see: obvious, trivial

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 03:04

I agree at the beginning there are no basic questions

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 03:01

Yes, I think you are an old timer of ELU

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:59

So are you a regular of ELL?

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:58

just a regular dictionary

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:57

would show "promising"

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:57

any dictionary

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:53

Q: What does promising in (promising scholars) mean?

What does promising mean in the phrase promising scholars? For example: Doctoral Scholarship recipients are among our most promising scholars.

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:51

I closed questions for vocabulary in the past

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:51

Here we have grammar

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:50

well that's the question To be or not to be (closed)

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:49

questions that can be answered by basic references are closed

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:49

for ELL SE there is a threshold

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:48

I agree but

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:48

well

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:34

I answered it but if it is closed, I will probably delete my answer

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:34

Q: Which option is correct?

We ____TV when suddenly a bird ___ into the window. watched / flied watched / was flying were watching / flew were watching / flown

grammar

Theta30

Feb 21, 2014 02:34

too basic?

@masfenix Use that P(1/k*Z<=t)=P(Z<=kt) where Z is the sum
