on the word "corruption" and it should make a point about the human experience.




an example of making a point about the human experience is:

"Thinking too hard and worrying too much can destroy a person's ability to take decisive action when it is needed"

or

"When people have lost faith in those closest to them, they may do things that have devastating consequence"

It says "Congratulations, You've got a best answer and 10 extra points!"
I thought that when you use words like "bets", "worst", "tallest" and so on you're supposed to use "the" in front of it. Could you explain why "a" is used?
(I'm not a native speaker of English, just trying to learn)

Eleven hearts,
All over the floor,
No light to see to pick them up,
Everyone saw but me,
All eleven hearts were mine,
My hearts that were given to me....

Why did Jesus choose such a word, when he asked : "SUFFER" the little children to come unto me.

Has the word "SUFFER" have another meaning other, than what the word at present has come to be?

Thank you.

I am thinking of sending this word that I recently created into Websters so that they can consider putting it in next year's dictionary. The word is:

"animicrotic"

And the definition would be: "Small minded; stupid". Because the root "anim" means mind and the root "micro" means small and "ic" just characterizes it. So do you think it could work? I have used it in essay and stuff by the way.

Also...do you get money or anything if your word gets into the dictionary???

Well I feel like a damn fool asking this but I was writing a headhunter about an interview I had this morning and I can't remember if this is a real word or not.

"The interview only lasted 11 minutes."

Jesus... and I went to an Ivy League school.

Today CNN reported on a fatal accident, calling it a "sad tragedy." What's wrong with reporters? They're supposed to be models of good English!
