Most people (from around my area) tend to substitute the word dollar for buck (EX: I have 20 bucks in my wallet)
and I was wondering where it came from, if anywhere.

I asked here, if this sentence is right; It's time to get ready for your clothes.
Actually, I'm a Korean high shool student, and I've been America for an year. The sentence was on my english test. I'm in 11th grade here.
This is the situation. A girl was cast for a drama, and her manger said, " I think it's time to get ready for your clothes."
Is the sentence gramatically right? I asked if it is wrong, but my teacher said nothing wrong with this. I told him that I asked several native Eglish speakers, but he said they were not professors and stufffff
I, actually don't know exactly, but when I was taking the test, I thought the meaning is not something like preparing some clothes.
can anybody answer my Q?

I am a current junior in high school and I am considering majoring in a business major, maybe finance, but open for suggestions in other areas of expertise. Is majoring in a business major good for job security? What is the average salary of the graduates who receive a job after graduation? What are the chances of getting a job right after graduation? I plan to attend Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. Please help me with any information about business majors and jobs in business. Serious answers and sources (not Business Week) appreciated.

Thank you.

Last year I was academically suspended-- a harsh and serious consequence. Over the past year, I've met with an academic adviser and psychologist to sort out my issues and set realistic, yet challenging goals for myself.

I know that having depression and an unhealthy family are not excuses, but they contributed to why I did so awful academically. I also had health problems (anaphylactic reactions) which affected my academic performance. I have proof regarding that, along with my family problems. I've also made up an academic plan for what I want to do, but I'm worried that the scholastics committee won't accept me. My academic history is somewhat "bipolar"-- there have been times where I do extremely well, and other times where I did awful. I want to be able to convey in my petition that I am very serious about wanting to get back into school and HAVE changed.

Is there anything else I should do to help my case? My academic adv. told me my plan was realistic.
