CALLIDUS..? I've been actually looking for a foreign term that best describes a nurse... I think skillful is the best word for that... But then, i encountered a problem with the word CALLIDUS coz as i searched for the meaning... I can't determine if it has a good or bad meaning... since, some reference says that it means skillful,experienced,smart,clever... but some says that it has a bad meaning which is sly and cunning...

'd' instead of 'the'. Any other examples? It makes them sound like illiterate idiots. Can they write properly but don't want to, or is this actually how educated they are these days? I'm only 25 but I never wrote like that.

I'm English and I was taught to spell words like emphasise and realise with an s. I wonder why this is and whether it is a firm rule in British English. Something tells me it isn't - Colin Dexter in the Inspector Morse books uses Z.

Can anyone point me at a ruling or should I should spell them anyway I like.

There are several variations in the meaning of jihad. This is what the Quran says:

1) "Fight in the way of God those who fight for you, but do not begin hostilities; God does not like the aggressor" (2:190)

2) "Permission to fight is given ONLY TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN OPPRESSED... who have been driven from their homes for saying, "God is our Lord" "

In the book titled, "No God But God" by Reza Aslam, he states these verses were directed specifically at the Quraysh and their clandestine partisans in Yathrib.

This is the point where the view become misconstured and makes people believe they will fight anyone until they can convince them to convert. There is no such thing as a holy war because there can be no fight in the name of God.

ALL I AM ASKING IS IF YOU AGREE? Has Osama twisted the true meaning as a reason to take the lives of millions? Please keep the sarcasm to a minimum. Thanks for the respect.
