Which two questions can a person never truthfully answer yes to?

If you are the first one to get one of them correctly I will give you 10 points but if you give me both questions first you will get the ten points, if no one gets it correctly...no one gets the points :D.

When people use abbreviations for example, or text speak such as 'c u l8r', does it make you think that the English language is basically falling apart? I ask because in my mind, as long as the intended message is understood by the recipient, does it matter how it'c communicated?

Long question I know, but I'm interested in some genuine answers (ah go on, some joke answers too!)

"Remediate" is not in the dictionary. Everywhere I look, I am referred to "remedy" and "remediation". "Remediate" comes up ok on the spell checker and I know what it means, but the grammer checker keeps throwing it out. It is also not in the thesaurus. Is it a word or not???

Can you name more words in which the "c" is pronounced "see"?
And yes, I know it's not actually just the "c" that's being pronounced "see" in coelacanth; it's the combination of "coe-," but anyway it's the first letter of that series of letters and thus begins the "see" sound. So let me revise the question accordingly: Can you name more words in which "c," in combination with other letters--or by itself, if you can find one--makes the "see" sound?

And I don't mean acronyms like CSPAN. I guess C-grade would be ok, since it is used as a noun: "He got a C grade." But I think that's kind of cheating because it's already understood that we're alphabetically talking about a C as a opposed to an A or a B.

Okay, I just found another 3: coelenteron, coelenterate and Coelenterata. Coelenterates are animals such as jellyfish that are radially symmetrical, have saclike bodies with only one opening, and have stinging tentacles. Coelenteron is the saclike body; Colenterata is the phylum.

Could you please tell me the difference between air conditioning and air conditioner?

I knew that we can say that "this car comes with an air conditioning" .

How about the following sentence:

Does your apartment has an air conditioning /conditioner?

Does this building has an central air conditioning system?
