something like that a vehicle or some other thing is "blue IN COLOR" or "red IN COLOR," etc.? Like... what's an alternative: red in like... WEIGHT? "Blue in... SIZE"? Come ON, people!

Oh, and you could even describe something that's not a person as just plain ol' WHITE or just BLACK, without saying "white..." or "black IN COLOR," because HELLOOOOO, THINGS don't come from races called stuff like White or Black. So there's no confusion between being white in color or black in color if someone already knows that the reference is to a thing instead of a person, RIGHT?

Maybe a piece of fruit could be described as orange in COLOR vs. orange...as the kind of fruit itself, but nothing else deserves that same kind of distinction, does it?

Even the words -blue- and -green- can be used for something other than actual colors, as in "feeling blue" or "green with envy," or a "greenie missionary," etc., but shouldn't it just be OBVIOUS, when describing the color of something, that the words

For example, I don't believe in the idea of an eternal, immutable 'soul,' though I say it. When I swear, I'll throw out an occasional 'God' or 'Jesus.' Or, I might say someone is 'guilty as sin.' On the non-religious front, maybe you say, 'Button up or you'll catch cold,' even though you may be a microbiologist who knows better.

This is more of an observation than a question. I'm fairly new to the Answers community but I am really bothered by the atrocious grammar and spelling in some of these questions. I understand there are web abbreviations and people are used to chatting/texting but I can't tell you how many questions I skip because I can't figure out what the heck these people are saying. Anyone agree or am I just a cranky English Major?

... when expressing a negative opinion of something? "Oh that sucks" is so popular these days. I can't help it, when I hear it, it makes me think the person saying it is low-rent.

So many people say it though, there can't be many who feel the same way. Does anyone?

Does this derive from the American Dollar Bill or is this from earlier times? Someone asked me this the other day and can't find anything on-line to answer the question.

Here is the situation: a mother temporarily loses custody of her child because she becomes mentally ill and is hospitalized for two months, eventually is stabilized on medications, recieves counseling, and even slowly returns to work. A year later, she obtains custody back of her child. How would you describe her rights? Would her rights have been revoked? Terminated? Temporarily terminated? Legally, what is the best way to describe her parental rights when her daughter was sent to live with relatives while she got treatment?

Due to the color of Crooks’s skin, Curly does not let him take part in many of the other workers’ activities, such as playing cards in the bunkhouse, and therefore Crooks is very limited to what he can do around the farm.

Can someone re word this so it sounds less wordy and awkward. thank you in advance
P.S.-Crooks is a person (plural; Crooks's car).
