im confused with rule 8 and rule 9 because they are almost the same. Im confused because how do i know if i'm going to apply rule 8 or 9?

ok here for example. Most of the games is/are scheduled tomorrow. Is or Are? and please explain why. Because in rule 8 it says you make the singular regardless of the object of the preposition whereas in rule 9 it says you should make it agree with the object of the prepo. help im confused =\

Think about it.

There's:

Somebody
Someone

Nobody

...but "Noone" isn't a word.

I wish noone was a word. Agree?

We just lost our rat chi recently and have brought home a baby female rat to carry on her legacy. I want to name this rat after her, something to honor her and remember her by. Since the first rats name was chi I am thinking maybe zen or something like that but zen isnt a very pretty name. Anyone else have any ideas of a short word with a nice ring and a similar meaning to what the word chi embodies?? Thanks so much:) by the way she is mostly white with a black head and a few black splotches on her.

I am going to put this question in words and word play. It doesn't really belong there but if I put it in its proper category, the answer might be too self-evident for some people. Best answer goes to the first person who gives the correct answer.

Here are some silly words I have made up, along with their definitions. I will also use each one in a sentence so you fully understand them.

"Snickgarette": the cigarette you go outside to smoke so that your best friend will follow you and you can talk in private about other people at the party.

"I lit my snickgarette while waiting for her so I could tell her what Mary said Joe said about Lisa."

"Yankmedoodle": the person at the party who never believes anything anyone tells him or her.

"I tried to convince the yankmedoodle that the planet is, in fact, round, but he wasn't having any of it."

"Pastturd": the place in your memory where you park old relationships which should have died by now, but are still hanging around in your memory.

"I put that one out to pastturd years ago, but he still pops into my mind from time to time."

What are some of yours? If you borrowed them from someone, who'd you borrow them from?

Thanks for sharing.
