For example; they will have the word "stood" above a line and the word "I" under the line and the solution is "I understood".
Does anyone know what I am talking about and what they are called?
Thanks so much!

Someone is arguing with me because he says the right way is "me & you" instead of "you & me". English is not my mother tongue but it is my friend's (the 1 who argues) and he says me & you is the right way.

Why when you're saying someone is being unusually good, do you say "butter wouldn't melt in their mouth"?

What are the origins of this saying?

I know what btw means, obviously, but I'm just curious about all the others that I keep encountering on the Internet.

I have heard that "rare form" means an unusual state in which preformance is higher than it usually is. I've also heard that it means when you are simply acting just as you usually do. So what does it really mean?

You know as usual. United States has different spellings of the English language to the United Kingdom. Like all words containing an "ise" are "ize" because they believe in spelling the words "phonetically" (why don't they spell that "faneticly" then??) but this did not include the word "advertisement" (pr. ad-ver-tiss-ment)? This has puzzled me for a looooong time.. Help!
