Some dictionaries say elementary or primary school kids are called pupils, and others say students. Any difference between countries?

In short stories, is it acceptable if I use chapters or some squiggly lines to separate sets of paragraphs told with different points/event (but the same story, of course).

And can you please suggest some nice vocabulary.


Are these lines ok-for separating 2 events or main points in a story?- like a break?

Is it right to say, for example, "my friend is a gay"? I always thought of gay as an adjective "my friend is a gay PERSON" (though I wouldn't phrase it like that ever), never a noun. My husband and I have debated this. My first language is English and his is Danish. Though he is very proficient in English, I believe he is sorely mistaken about calling someone "a gay." Besides the fact that it sounds offensive (almost like the f-word), I don't believe it's grammatically correct. We tried to look it up on the internet and then we found something on Wikipedia that says "he is a gay" has been used in some British comedy play. He took this to mean that he was correct, but I don't believe it to be so. Someone who has knowledge of English grammar, please tell me if "gay" can be used as both an adjective and a noun. Is it ever correct to refer to someone as "a gay"??

I thought that the Ivy League schools were just the best most high standard schools, and considering that Stanford is one of the best, I'm surprized that it is not an Ivy League School. Is it not as good as the eight Ivy Leagues or does the "Ivy League" mean something different? Also, does wether the school is east coast or west coast matter when it comes to how good it is?

I'm not sure it's an honest word. But I heard the term "Scottish Cadomite" used in a defamitory context in the last Alamo remake and have wondered about it since that point. I'm not even sure if the spelling is correct. Thanks! And to all those pretty women in Texas, keep those cards and letters coming! Randy

Ok, two years ago I took what I thought would be a short break from college because I just couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Now, I feel like I need to go back, but I'm no closer to knowing what I want to do than I was back then. I'm leaning toward majoring in Professional Writing, but every time I start to pay my tuition payment online I panic. Should I just account this as fear of going back to school and failing horribly at something I used to excel at, or take it as a sign not to go back? Just need some other opinions and assurances...

I'm an incoming junior, and I'd like to know what I should do to prepare for the SATs I have to take this year? I feel like I'm behind because some people have already started preparing for it in the beginning of the summer and are taking classes. I don't think I'll be able to take classes, so what should I do? Should I buy the books? If so, which books would work best? And are the SATs extremely difficult? I'm kind of stressing out right now. =/ I really want to get into a California university, or at LEAST a state university.
