3.And no schoolchild worth his salt is willing to be caught dead being dropped off in anything other than the latest SUV.

These sentences are in sequence. Please give me the exact meaning of the second sentence.

And what they mean by 'no childhood worth his salt'?

Yankee Doodle went to town
riding on a pony
stuck a feather in his hat
and called it macaroni!


What did he call macaroni? The pony? The feather? the hat?

For example, I like 'Alle zusamen'--excuse the spelling!-which in German just means all together, simply because of its sound. A French friend of mine loves the English name Briony,just because of the sound!

Can you please list at least 5 pairs of irregular verbs and their correct ussage which are commonly mistaken in use...
For example...

raise vs rise When used as a verb they both have the same general meaning of "to move upwards", the main difference is that rise is an intransitive verb (it does not take an object), while raise is a transitive verb (it requires an object):

rise (v) Something rises by itself

For example:-
The sun rises in the east.
The chairman always rises to the occasion.
I will rise tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. to walk the dog.
Rise is an irregular verb: rise / rose / risen

raise (v) Something else is needed to raise something.

For example:-
Lynne raised her hand.
The government is going to raise taxes.
They can't raise the Titanic.
Raise is a regular verb: raise / raised / raised

She also told me that I usually bend myself, so she suggested that I stretch myself. I've heard about that from my mother few years ago, and it flashed through my mind. I've made up my mind to stretch my waist. I decided to get rid of my bad habits by her advice. Like this, I usually correct my bad habits by other men's advice.
