Education & Reference - 8 September 2007

We all know the terms, uppercase is the BIG LETTERS or CAPITAL LETTERS and lowercase is the little letters. I just need to know where the terms uppercase and lowercase came from and if you could give me a link to a site that would be great!

- Thanks!!

I have to write a paper on how the board game Monopoly encourages skills and values. And I am completely stumped at the intro. :(

A little help? I just need an attention grabber, or something to pull the reader into it.

If I'm asked to annotate something, like an excerpt from a poem, a random document, or whatever, what does that exactly mean?

I never really saw the necessity of it, since I've felt it wastes time, especially if it's on a timed exam, and I'm trying to understand the meaning of the document in the first place.

But if I'm required to do it, what do I do exactly? Do I define words I don't understand, do I circle words which grab my attention, showing the intensity of a phrase or something?

I'm sorry, but I don't see the point of wasting my time to find words with a similar theme, and finding some kind of imagery, when I don't even know what the story is about.

It's a workbook that I keep for English. but the teacher said we need to protect it. Regular fabric covers don't work. I'd rather not go out and spend money on expensive covering materials, but if I must... What can I use to protect it?

Who thought of 'swear words'?
Who, one day, decided that words like f*ck and sh*t would be concidered rude and naughty words?
How is bi*ch any different from hello? [apart from obvious spelling differences].
And why are some 'swear words' concidered worse than others? For example, saying f*ck would be worse than saying a**. But why?

Ok, i am basicly a 10th grade droppout (long freakin story).
Can i check out three GED books from the library and buy one from the book store that is more up-to-date like more of a newer book?

And would this help me i live in Georgia, Hall county, and was wondering if i do this will i be prepared for the pretest if there is one that i have to take?
(like if i study and do the tests in the diff books i get and study what i get wrong and such)
WILL THIS HELP ME?
i want to basicly, if there is a pretest i want to do as well as possible on it and hopefully pass it first time around and, if not, i will do classes and stuff i just want it to look as if i am smart enough to pass the pretest so i dont have to classes like everyone else.

Ok, again i want to pass the first time around to make it look like i am super smart and didnt need classes basicly.

I want answers from people who know and from people who have study like i have stated and such.
(Oh,nver been to highschool L.S)

I wanna major in film and that's my passion but I'm afraid that I'm not talented enough and won't be able to find a job in that field.

My other options are to be a doctor or engineer and they pay good but I'd probably be bored to death. Are these good jobs to get?

What do you think I should do?

I come from a high school where we always have only one valedictorian. I remember when my roomate in college told me that he was one of 3 valedictorians and that they had all taken the same amount of AP and honor classes and all gotten straight As. I thought that was too many but then I found ou that one of my friends was one of 12 valedictorians. He claims that its because of their large graduating class but both of ours were around 800. Everybody in my graduating class got at least one B and I know that none of the upper classmen that graduated while I was in high school or since I've graduated have gotten straight A's
