I looked all over the web, but they don't give me the full list of Indefinite pronouns. Does anyone know the complete list of it? There's 15 of them.

If you have to correct people because they spell something wrong or say something not the way you would you can go to hell and correct the things that are wrong there.
Sometimes people spell things rong just to bug the crap out of u.
I hope this bugs you too.
Have a bad day all you perfekt people

I was reading this book and it said this in it:
"...but his eyes would not stay open. He suspected she dosed his nourishing drinks with mother's comfort."

I know what it all means but what is mother's comfort?

there is an word like this ;
"i was reading a book two days back when an owlie flew pass."
i think that "FLEW" and "PASS" is both "verb" in sentences.does it right? if it is both "verb",it doesn't make sense i think.isn't it "flew to pass"?

'different' and 'same' are both adjectives, so why when we use them in sentences we say "____ and _____ are different" but we use "_______ and _______ are the same"? why do we add "the" in front of same? i just know it's right, but i just don't know why.

What's a word to describe someone who pays too much attention to detail and misses the big picture?

Preferably an adjective. Like meticulous for example, except not the word meticulous.

A Six-Word story is simply that; a story of 6 word,s no more no less.

The idea came from Hemmingway, when he wrote, "For sale, baby shoes. Never used." He is said to have called it his finest work.

So basically you can be funny, express a deep moral, make sociopolitical insight, or even just describe a scene--but you have to use exactly 6 words.

Examples can be found here:

Here are some of mine too:
1) Even superheroes need to grieve sometimes.
2) From space, the world looks peaceful.
3) Epitaph: "No, no! The OTHER right!"
4) Earth goes on strike; feels abused.

I'll judge the winner based on what I think is best. Have fun!

Would we capitalize the word "bildungsroman" in a sentence. Eg. This novel was written in the form of a Bildungsroman.

Thanks in advance. A Bildungsroman is a genre if that means anything.
