Don't forget to name it. Giving the name of any schools is up to you.

My children have a choice between enrolling in a good high school in NJ (JP Stevens in Edison ranked #27) and the #1 high school in CA (Whitney in Cerritos).

They are A students in middle school.

Assuming that all other factors being equal (grades, achievements, awards, extra-curricular activities), will the #1 CA high school give them an edge when applying to top universities?

Appropriately, this is my first-ever question for Y. A.... and (I just realized) I should add it has nothing to do with my name. :-)

I keep seeing people do this?
Or saying, "tell me what you think about so and so?"
Or, "I need your opinion?"

I'm tempted to answer, "I don't know, *do* you need my opinion?"

A ? isn't mandated on every sentence just because you are seeking information. Its purpose is to show when a sentence is a question.

Like other rules of grammar, it's to clarify your message! Don't even get me started on other common mis-use online, such as capitalization, and periods where ?'s SHOULD be used.

As an example, "I was wondering what you think about this..." is not a question. It is a statement, telling us you were wondering. A ? is therefore not the right punctuation mark; a period is.

I'm not an English teacher or student, but I have a strong urge to smack each of you on the back of the hand with a ruler.

Grammar police! There's a riot on Yahoo! Answers!

I m in a little bit of grammar dilemma. My friend thinks that I should not say 'Mr. X is not picking up the phone' cuz that would mean Mr. X is not lifting or picking up the phone set itself from the table, counter or wherever it is sitting. In other words, picking up would literally mean the action of picking up. Am I incorrect in thinking that literal meaning of pick up in this example doesnt apply here?

I would do it, but i always have a problem of wiritng everything down!

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.

Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being.

Can someone plzz help me summarize these 2 paragraphs.

I've got a book report on 'The Great Gatsby' due in half an hour, and so I'm going to convince some nerd to write it for me. Would I have better luck by threatening a boy with bodily harm, or tricking a girl into thinking I'm interested in her?
