Are the verbs indicative, subjunctive, or interrogative?
Here is the poem:

My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.

This is common for Americans to speak this way. However, don't they teach the English Language in American schools? "Period", does Not mean the end. It refers to a gap or space in time before the next statement. Saying "Period" is like saying "Extra long Full-Colan", or "I'm waiting for you to say your say." Said with varying emotion varies the meaning. Perhaps they should say, "Gotta run, having a period." Better yet, if they just said nothing.

(See title)

I casually use the word "man-wh*re" when it comes to this kind of thing, but then that would mean I'd have to use the word "whore" against females loved only for their looks, and I feel a bit dumb and shallow about that.

SUggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

And in case you're wondering why I'm asking this, it's because I have a jealousy-driven hatred with males who are loved or ridiculously successful based entirely on their looks. Umm, yeah. :P

Any parent will tell you that babies definitely aren't good at sleeping through the night, so why do people say things like "I slept like a baby" to describe a really good sleep? I'm pretty sure they don't mean "I woke up every hour or so and started yelling"!

What do you mean when you say ....

1. Unlike most other languages English doesn't have a set phonetic pronunciation for every word. If you have ever seen the musical "My Fair Lady" or read the Book "Pygmalion" then you could easily see this concept.

2. English was "screwed up" long before the modern generation got its grubby paws on it, and jargon and slang have been injected into it for centuries. And in truth, English (and most other languages) has never been exact enough for truly good technical use. Its conjunctions do not reflect any sort of consistent logic system, such as Boolean logic. And its nouns are fuzzy in definition at best. Often times, such as in Law, a special set of rules and definitions must be created for a language to be used in a technical manner, and this set of rules and definitions doesn't always (or even usually) completely line up with the accepted or common definition or use of the word, which creates confusion .
