Education & Reference - 10 September 2007

I've been using the seemingly fictitious word "intricle" for 25 years and I'm just now realizing that it's not in the dictionary! I've taken 4 years of college Writing classes and this has never come up before! What is the word I'm really trying to use??? It's used like this:

Ravioli is an intricle part of my diet.

I use it to mean a cross between important and inseparable.

Look up intricle on Google and you'll see tons of other people using it just like me!

Wow!

Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and
noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0 and NBA 3.0. And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Sincerely,
Desperate

When the children have a choice of colors to use for writing their name , stories etc they tend to choose the same color daily. Does anyone know why?

Would you be happy if a student gave you a handmade gift — something that is original or something that is not handmade but with quality? Would you be happy if I gave you something handmade? I'm just curious because I don't know what teachers like.

I will be a 3rd year undergraduate student at UCSC. I really want to transfer out of this college (to UCD, UCSD, UCLA, or Cal), but I am afraid that the chances of getting in are unlikely. I have asked several people about this situation and most of them think that I should try for it. Or, should I finish strong with the rest of these 2 years? Some of my friends who transferred out think that it is best to apply for transfer to a better UC and make that transfer if I get accepted. I want to start writing my essays, so please answer! Thank you!

Taking the SAT for the 1st time and get a score below average, and the 2nd time get a score nearly average, so I want to take it the 3th time. Do you think it is better to take it the 3rd time? How the UC look at our score? Do they look at all of my score?

Ok, so I have an AA degree in general studies, I'm currently going for my bs but I don't want to be one of those ppl with a bs and there's nothing they can do with it they have to get a ms and so on, I want to make big bucks NOW. I heard that diagnostic medical sonographer, x-ray tech and cardiovascular tech make a very good living so I was interested in going that route so what would be the best thing to do what classes to take should I continue with a bachelor or do I have to start all over again. I found out that you need an AS degree so probably I'll just need to take a couple of sonography classes? Please help me with any suggestion or best way to go about it. Thank you very much

I am not a native English speaker so I'd would like to know...

The seat next to me is "adjacent" to me. What about the seat one more space away from me? How do you say it in English?

e.g.
---A-B-C-D---

A is adjacent to B, but how do you call seat C in terms of A?

Hello everyone!
I am taking Calculus this quarter. I am a little nervous about it since. I have heard so many bad things about calculus. Is it really that hard? If so, what is so hard about it. Please remember, this is first quarter Calculus in college...

I want to major in something like Computer Science (or something of that sort) and want to stay in California. What school(s) would be a good one to look at? I have heard that UCLA and UC Berekley are good schools with technology. Are there any other CSU or UC schools that are very good in their technology education?
