When people win the lottery, they say "I won five million big ones!"

But, isn't that sentence technically wrong? Yes, they won a BIG five million, but they didn't win five million big ones. It takes five million one dollar bills to make five million, which means they should be saying "I won five million SMALL ones."

Right?

Yahoo has a spell check. Using it would help most people with their misspellings. It would also be nice if the questions made sense before posting.

i did presentation in class the other day and got anonymous comments from people. two people said i was talking too low and too fast and because of that, gave me unsatisfactory grades. and this just pisses me off cuz i really worked hard on this stuff. i tried to condense it and not go too long cuz we were running late. i thought i talked loud enough and slow enough. so tell me, how can you tell if you're talking loud enough and slow enough?
