i heard that amor actually comes from teh latin ´a´ (the opposite of) and ´mor´ (from death.) Is that true? it does seem like a coincidence! if not, where does it come from?

Hi,

Can you please translate this into English.

Tutti si aspettavano gol a grappoli dall' attaccante della Fiorentina ed invece a parte quella doppietta contro l'Ucraina, il numero 9 azzuro la porta l'ha vista poco e male. Poi, quando gli viene chiesto di correre come un cammello per far pressing sui difensori avversari, e` chiaro che perda un po di lucidita mentale in fase conclusiva.

I've often heard the name "Gordon Bennet!" used as an exclamation of shock, disgust or disappointment in British television shows. Who is Gordon Bennet and why is his name a swear word?

I work as a sales associate, and I know enough basic spanish to communicate with the non-english speaking customers, but there are a few things I would like to know how to say specifically. I have an idea of how to say the following, but I would just like to make sure it's right so I don't sound TOO crazy:

"Would you like me to start you a fitting room?"
"If you need anything, let me know."
"You can take 4 items in at a time."
"Do you need any other sizes?"
"Is everything fitting okay?"

One: If you can swim, please raise your right hand.
Two: If you can swim, please raise your right hands.

Note: If I want to ask the question to a group of people, which should I use? In English, the pronoun 'you' can be both singular and plural. So should I use unmber two to indicate that I am talking to many people, not just to a person.

I've always thought that gonna is used so incredibly often that it really should be considered a word. Who really takes the time to say "going to" in their every day life-every single time? I think it's about time we add it to the dictionary. Agree?

The obvious answer would be Modern English, of course. But ME has had so much influence from other languages since the Norman Invasion that I'm thinking Anglo-Saxon's closest relative might be a derivative of a cognate language and not a derivative of AS itself.
