High School music teacher, female, 23

Weird question I know. I'm Anglo-Canadian and I've been taught the English spelling in school. (Colour, Labour, Draught Beer ect...).

However, when addressing people and places that use different spelling I try to use their spelling (Examples provided below). Is this correct? Or should you remain consistent with how you spell words?

Examples: Harbour/Harbor. I spell it "harbour" (consistent with what I was taught) but I spell "Pearl Harbor" the American way because it's an American location.

Canadian/Canadien: When addressing Franco-Canadiens I use the French spelling.

Who cares? Remain consistent and spell what you're taught or spell it their way when discussing their things/ways/culture?

I am trying to quote a play. Should I use a box quote like this,

"DANFORTH: --------"

Or should I use a regular quote like this, " ---------",

In addition, should I keep the title of the person, or should I drop it if it is only one line?

im working on a group english project and we are filming two short clips that show the contrast between romeo and mercutio in romeo & juliet. romeo is stubborn and we are using the example of him talking to friar lawrence i think.. our english teacher says mercutio is "easily changeable" and "unpredictable" but we cant find anything from the play that exemplifies that. help!!

- Tawdry - Meaning 'tacky' An interesting corruption of the old remark 'St Audrey's Lace'. Audrey was a woman who believed that God smote her for her material possessions.

When is it appropriate (or not!) to use your fingers to quote your spoken words? I find this mostly annoying, but someone must have some rules of etiquette for its uses...

It's like a singin club but you don't really have to sing jazz songs, you can sing any genre of songs. It's hard for me to go on high notes, which songs do you suggest. But they have to be in KAREOKE VERSION.

ok im 13 and in the 8th grade. last year i was making straight A's and now ive been cutting back a little because the stupid teachers tell everyone my grades when i do good and so now a lot of ppl think im probally a stuck up jerk only because im pretty smart. There are a lot of ppl who are WAY smarter then me, too. This is my second year at this small school (about 85 ppl in the 8th grade, so everybody knows everybody) so i figured ppl would chill out about me. Im not a jerk at all, im just a little shy. Are ppl still going to be so immature in High School and college? I havnt really been making bad grades, but ive been missing questions on purpose and have been trying to keep a B in Math and Language. What do i do?
