Education & Reference - 17 April 2007

Whats the difference?
Don't they mean the same thing?
Same for valuable and invaluable.
And why does clever guy and wise guy have opposite meanings?
You call a smart person a clever guy but a guy who acts smart a wise guy instead.

And many others too...

My daughter has been quite distraught about this.

I feel this is a very negative comment. Her writing was actually quite neat, the page looks messy, because she has used an eraser several times on each word, to correct it too make it look neater.

I think the teacher could have commented in a positive fashion.

e.g. Great effort, perhaps next time use a clean eraser.

Can you think of any other very short positive comments the teacher could have made to encourage Kylie?

The distance in feet of each object from the center of the board must VARY INVERSELY with its weight in pounds. In the diagram shown, what is the distance of each animal from the center of the board?

The diagram has a picture of a cat on the left (7.5lbs) and a dog on the right (12.5lbs). The total distance of the lever is 5ft (left side to right side). That's all the information given. I've been trying this for hours, now it's 1AM and I'm giving up and passing it on.

Please, my grade depends on your help!

It's kinda like when a girl looks at a guy and he's not that talkative but you know he kind of likes you, and he knows you like him too.. but he doesn't talk much but you still know like you can connect with them because you guys are both uncomfortable around each other but like being close together at the same time...

A word that kinda means like.. they're mysterious.. but you like it & it turns you on that they're not loud and obnoxious and wanting to get in your pants all the time..
