Education & Reference - 7 December 2007

I read on the site that you have the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth, on those hard ridges. However, I can pronounce the L sound by having the tip of my tongue touch my gum, exactly the position where we produce the T or the D sound. But that is because I'm asian, I think the I'm making the L sound. But, is there any difference if the position was behind the back of the front teeth? Would the L sound be more shallow and strong? I felt that my L is too light and quick "like" when I say, "like," it feels like the word is too short and not being emphasize enough.

My wife has been 1 semester away from graduating from ETSU, for quite awhile now (about 2 years). When she gets registered for the next semester they always seem to find more classes that she "needs" to graduate. Is this something thats common practice amongst universities across the country? I think its just dead wrong that a university can do this. Just wondering if anybody out there has had a similar problem. Thanks for the answers.

Does it require a 4 year degree or do you go to a trade school or something?

I am looking at Duquesne University! I am a junior in high school and my GPA is a 3.6, and I play basketball, have a job, and also volunteer at my church. I also am in my 3rd year of a language (Spanish 3 and am planning on taking Spanish 4 which is a plus right?) Do I have a good chance of getting in because right now, I don't know why but I am so scared that I am not going to get into the college that I want to!!!

I got 4.0 all Freshman year at a supposely low academic public high school.

So I transfer to a more selective public school (ranked a top 100 California HS according to US NEWs, etc).

Currently I'm getting low 3.3s at this tougher school.

Do colleges take that in consideration when applying?

Was it a mistake to transfer to the harder school?

My teacher gave us three questions:
1. Ships with biggest guns = (Schooner?)
2. He went to the underworld and talked to Achilles (Odysseus?)
3. He's probably the most famous pirate = (Edward Teach (Blackbeard)?)
I have NO idea what the first one is, Schooner is just my guess. As for the others, I'm prettys ure those are the answers. Please correct me if I am wrong!

You know, there are plenty of example, colour/color, aeroplane/airplane, etc etc...
What is the reason for this, and what do you think about changing the spelling of certain words of a language?

everyone says " i will check your profile and let you know what i think " is correct but i think " what i thought" is ok too

because,,,if you put yourself in the future ,"what you think" will be the past,,,,you think something and then let the person know what you THOUGHT???

its confusing?

One day my math teacher told me that when she was in college that she had to write a paper based on the question "What is a risk?" She said some guy wrote on his paper "This is." Handed his paper in and walked out of the class. My teacher said the professor thought it was brilliant. I agree with the professor, do you?

In our English class, we are reading Romeo and Juliet. Our teacher told us that, for extra credit, we can read(memorize) a soliloquy from the play. I have no idea what to do. Can anyone help me out? Like just give me a website that has them, or write them down.

Hi.....In October another student at my school started stalking me and sending me threatening messages. He said if I did not have sex with him and be his girlfriend he was going to kill me. It made me go crazy! I was so scared to go to school and end up being killed that I did not go to midterms.........So I dropped my classes and I have 3 W's on my record. I am sad becuase my transcript is ruined. It is not like I did not go to midterms because I was lazy and dropped cuz I was doing poorly I had all A's I was just scared of getting killed...I told the police and they currently have detectives working on the case....Are there programs at most colleges that could help? If I talked to an academic person could I maybe get those W's off my transcript? I was paying for school from an academic excellence award scholarship......In order to keep it you have to have 12 credits...Since I dropped I can't use the scholarship so I have no way to pay for school! Should I see the couselor at school?
