Who was this: He was born dead, and the midwife who delivered him laid his lifeless body on the delivery table. He was brought to life by an uncle who breathed a lungful of cigar smoke into him. Who is it? (Hint: He became an artist).

When introductions of women were made, the older woman in the household was Mrs. Lastname. If there was an older female in the house she was Miss Last name. The next female was Miss First Name and a youngest child was just called by her first name. At what age did the Miss Last name gain that distinction. Was it because she was considered an old maid at that time or because she was the eldest daughter?

Also, what is Michaelmas.

In February 1917, in the midst of World War I, Germany sent an encoded message to the their embassy in Mexico, requesting an alliance with Mexico in the event that the United States entered the war as response to unrestricted submarine warfare. The idea was an attack on the southern border would keep the U.S. from being able to send forces to Europe. In reality, the British intercepted the telegram, decoded it, and published the telegram, inflamming passions in the U.S. and speeding their entry into the war. My question is what if that didn't happen.

Please try to give a plausible set of consequences, including how the war would have happened, with the alternate events given. Thanks in advance.

As a novelist, the correct usage of grammar in my prose is essential. Although the usage of grammar is a little confusing, I still enjoy studying and practicing them. I wouldn't be able to complete my novel if it weren't for the help of technical English.
I find it weird when my budding novelist told me that he doesn't like grammar. (Perhaps that's the reason why his work is always in a mess.) He seems to enjoy writing, but his style of writing is always incoherent.
Shouldn't grammar be the most important factor when writing fiction?

Fear can be the one's emotion that always helps you make the right decision. Other emotions can lead you down the wrong path. Anger, jealousy, sadness, bliss - you name it. Good or bad, they take you out of the moment and cloud your thinking so you could easily make a dumb choice. Not so with fear. when you're scared, you pretty much know what you have to do. Usually, it's to get the heck away from whatever it is you're scared of. Fear heightens your senses and makes your thinking do clear, you stand a better chance of beating whatever you're afraid of. When you're afraid, you're On. So what do you think? is fear good or it's worst emotion of all?
