I've been told by an English teacher that it's allowed, but earlier today, I posted a question about something else and was told that switching from singular to plural wasn't correct. I really wanted to get it looked at specifically, so here goes;

E.g.
Are these correct?

a). "The doctor told the patient they were unable to operate"
b). "One should should think before they speak"

I've been thinking about it for some time and I just can't figure out the answer... Is it permissible to omit the word 'that' in some cases?

E.g. Which is more correct:

a). "One shouldn’t make a promise they can’t keep."

or

b). "One shouldn’t make a promise THAT they can’t keep."

I feel like the first one is wrong, but I hear it all the time so I'm confused...

some americans use singular when they have to use plural

for example,,,,i like tattoos on girls,,,, sometimes they say like,,i like a tattoo on girls,,,,

or,,,i like girls in a skirt,,,

is it ok in conversation?

I'm entering my senior year in high school. I'm a member of various clubs and organiztions at my school such as the girls basketball team and the debate club. In school my GPA is rather low its a 1.83 I'm not too excited to say but the hopes of me getting into college are slim to none. Its like during the school year I'm a B/C Student but when it comes to end of the year test I dont really seem to do good no matter how much I study.The college that I really want to attend is Norfolk State University. I'm in a program called AVID which helps students who have the determination to go to college. Norfolk has a program with a sister community college to help students whos GPA's are low. The thing I'm not sure bout is how low your GPA has to be. The main thing I was wondering is if I could get into any college with such a low GPA.

I considering both majors and am premed, however given the strong possibility that I won't get into med school off the bat and might not want to go on to graduate school to get a masters or phd, which of those majors is more marketable or commands a higher starting salary? What kinds of jobs can biology or biochemistry get with just a bachelors degree?

Please NO smarta-s answers..........I have worked at the same hospital for 16 years and am contemplating going back to school for something other than what I am doing now........only because I am bored at what I do. It would take me 3, 4 at the most semesters to finish.........HOWEVER! I am pretty sure I will be making approximately the same amount of money I do now, what do you think? One of my best friends is going for her CRNA right now and she just turned 44........

I have heard of the 7 IIT campuses, NITs, but I've never heard of BITS. Is it public or private? Does it have any reputation?
Is it pathetic or okay? I've always heard limitless praises of IIT, but BITS is new in the hood for me.

My friends say, " Those who can't make it to IIT are idiots and some of them go to BITS." What is this BITS?

I searched through google and found it is there since 1929 and is ranked 6th. How the hell?

Personally, I don't think it is anything compared to IIT. IIT ranks 3rd in the world after MIT and Stanford, but this unknown BITS is nowhere and I guess it should be no where.

I completed my BA in Humanities with a minor in Art History while living in Germany. After I moved back to the States I started a Master's in Adult Education but I'm not sure that this is the path I really want to take. I'd really prefer to go back into Art History/Restoration/Therapy. My husband is military and we will be moving back to Germany this spring. Does anyone know of any reginally accredited universities that have an online MA in one of these areas? I've worked in higher education for the past 5 yrs but I deal with universities that focus on the military and haven't run into one with my area of interest. Thanks in advance for any guidance! :c)

law here says, go to the schools that are within ur region, but u can go to schools in a close by Different region if theres room available, or be put on a waiting list, However if u do live in the region then u have guaranteed access to the school in it...

i have an aunt who lives in the region where the school i wannto go to is at, she also has an extra bedrroom so it can pass off as if i actually live there..

but when filling in the registration forms
what do i put for the Telephone number?

my real home phone number contains the area code numbers that will make it obvious that i lied

do i give my aunt's home number
OR my Cellphone , my cellphone doesnt contain area code numbers that give away where i actually live...

ANY More Tips for lying?
so that i dont get caught...

k ALOTTA people do this i heard, so do tell

I want to go to a 4-year university after I graduate from high school, and I want to live in a dorm. The problem is, it costs $8,000 per year to live in a dorm, which is $32,000 total (not including books).

My mom said that she would find a way to pay for my room and board money (the tuition is taken care of with scholarships). She makes about $60,000 a year, though, and $8,000 a year is a lot considering her salary.

I want to live in the dorms really badly, but I hate spending that much of her money, and I wouldn't mind going to a community college first, but I'd prefer a dorm.

Should I go to a community college for the first 2 years and save $16,000 in room and board fees, or should I take advantage of my mom's offer and have fun?

Thank you.
