Do you remember that poem. My dad used to tell it to me as a kid but I cant remeber the rest of it or who wrote it. I would love to be able to share it with my kids now.

why do we find words offensive such as the F word what makes it more offensive than other four letter words it still contains the same characters of the same alphabet it is technically just a word its not illegal to say it yet frowned upon if you do!!! jus wonderin if there is any explanation i think its stupid myself!!!

Are the two interchangable? I already looked them up in the dictionary, but they both seem to be the same thing.

Yesterday I had an interesting conversation at work with a customer who commented on my nametag. :) He said that the way people pronounce my name is often (though of course not always) connected to what part of the U.S. they're from. I didn't realize that.

I won't tell you -- yet -- how I myself pronounce "Shari". I want to see what you all say.

So, FIRST please tell me if you'd say it as "Sherry" (like the fortified wine) or "Shahree" (with the stress on the "Shah" syllable). And SECOND, please tell me what state you live in. If you're not American, that's cool too. In that case, just say what country and/or region you're from. Thanks all!

This isn't a question...just a puzzle. Capital letters and spacing have been deliberately left out so they don't give away the answer. Just wondering if anyone has seen it before. Can you make the following words make sense ONLY by inserting punctuation and changing the proper letters to capitals? You cannot change or move any words. Just insert punctuation and capitalize where needed (optional, but not required, is to change spacing where needed). The FIRST right answer will get 10 points.

that that is is that that is not is not is not that it it is

Hi everyone....
I am an chinese and I am studying English.....But I found it's difficult to me to remember some words like "appeal to" "eccentric" "haphazard" because I don't really understand what does it mean....
Also, it's difficult to me to understand the meaning difference between some synonym words like "disparity" and "difference".

Could you please give me any suggestions about English studying or English words remembering ?
All the answers will be appreciated .....

Lonely. Does it have a true antonym? I have asked friends, who include english teachers and librarians, and I cannot seem to find a single word that means the opposite of lonely. Sure, there are words like extroverted and gregarious, but they only mean one is friendly, not un-lonely. Lonely describes the feeling one gets when one is alone and craves company, so I am looking for a word describing the feeling one gets when one is around people and craves to be alone. I get this unnamed feeling frequently, so there must be a name for it. I don't think crowded quite satisfies it, because if one is crowded, one can still get space without being alone.
