Has anyone got any simple ways of remembering which similar sounding words to use in English?

For example, wear, where and were. I already know that you use wear as in wearing clothes but I always got confused with where and wear until I realised that to remember that 'where' refers to a place, I just think of the first two letters refer fo the White House and it comes easy to me.

Anyone got anything similar for other common mistakes?

Accepted:
1. Emory
2. NYU - Stern School of Business
3. Tufts
4. U of I - College of Business
5. U of Michigan

I know that all the colleges I got into are extremely good and renowed, but I really want the best out of the list. If I refer to the ranking, Emory ranks the highest. Should I really use the ranking to determine their reputation. Money, location, student life, and campus don't matter much to me. Currently, I don't have a specific field I want to go into. I could study business and second major/minor something else or I could go to Tufts and study Int'l Relations/Econ. Also, I think I'd like to work in the asia region after undergraduation. I already know the basics and background of each college. I guess what I am looking for are reputation (national and international) and career prospect.

Thanks! Making this final deicison has created such a hard time for me in the pass few weeks.

I am 20 years old and a college student. Next school year I will need as much money as possible for my student loan. According to the FAFSA, I am not eligible to be independent. Is the same true for loans? Am I better off claiming myself or letting my parents claim me?

Thanks!

I'm doing some research on Aspergers Syndrome and from what I see it appears that the definition of Aspergers has expanded to include some people who do not have any form of autism, merely a certain personality type. I have a sneaking suspicion that the medical community may be looking to treat something that is a normal and possibly quite positive personality type. What do you think?

I asked this questions yesterday,while many of the answers were helpful, I am hoping for more responses this time.

I am interested in attending a prestigious college in the United States. I have good grades, am taking rigorous classes(honors and AP), and am in a lot of academic extracurricular activites. If you have attended an extremely prestigious school I am curious to know what set you apart from other people who applied. I have heard that students who are getting into Harvard are those who are already publishing books. How true are statements like that one? Your helpful answers are greatly appreciated!

How much on average, do you spend in one school year?
I know there's a big difference between getting started your first year and the years after when you're a bit more settled and have most of your resources at hand.
Just looking for a ballpark average... I'd like to see the teacher expense deduction raised from the measley $250 we currently get.
How much have I spent? Let's just say that I got a low-interest credit card and use it ONLY for teaching expenses, lit guides, supplies not provided by the district, class rewards, etc.

Samira: newscaster
Leonid: Interviewer
Demet: Russian navy official


Samira:
Greetings! Today we will be discussing The Kursk, a nuclear submarine which took part in exercises in the Barents Sea and supposedly has been sunken. Consequently, the gravity was pulling down on it than buoyancy was pulling up.
The ballast has to discharge its air in order to sink, for this process; this means that there was something mistaken with the ballast. Administrators believe that there were no nuclear weapons on The Kursk and say that the submarine’s nuclear reactor was shut down. Leonid will have more information on this.

Leonid:
Thank you.
I am here with a Russian navy official, Brad McCoy. Now, Mr. McCoy, how depth did the submarine sink? Were any bodies discovered?


Demet:
Well, The Kursk was found to the sea bed at a depth of 108 meters, off Severomorsk.
The airlock below the submarine was found to be flooded with water, but no bodies were discovered. The Russian navy officially had announced that all 118 crew were dead.

Leonid:
What did you think happened to the submarine that made it sink? Was there something wrong with the ballast?

Demet:
The cause that The Kursk sank was because that there was something wrong with the ballast. I actually had heard that the submarine has crushed with an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. That iceberg had perforated a hole in the ballast of the submarine. For this reason all the air and compressed air to come out of the submarine. These made the gravity pull down on the submarine more than buoyancy. So the submarine sank.

Leonid:
Well thank you for your time Mr. McCoy.
Now back to Samira.

Samira:
Thank you, Leonid.

Now I am sorry to say that the submarine has been under for too long and we have lost communication with the crew. We believe they have drowned by now. There was no more that the rescue team could do.

We will be back after this…

I teach sixth grade math at a middle school in a small southeast Ohio town. My students are nice young people but so many seem so uninterested in really learning math. I like to hear from adults but really am interested in what young people think.
