Muslims objected strongly to others defining Jihad as being a holy war when asked in other questions on this blog. However, indeed one of the two definitions of Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition defines Jihad as a 'holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty'. Is the dictionary wrong in it's definition or are we being duped when it is explained as being something else?

Should I built up my Spaish vocabulary first? Pronunciation seems to be straight forward in those self learning books but they are tough to pronounce, any clues? Does my background in English help in the pronunciation?

Hi. There are two things that I can understand in the following writing.

first,,

The problem is, his children are very lazy. They don`t pick up after themselves, and the place looks like a tornado hit it. I figured when it got dirty enough, someone would clean it, but that never happens. Sometimes I go over there and want to faint.

I got confused when I read the last sentence. " Sometiems I go over there and want to faint" That means she is so shocked that she wants to faint?
I dont know.. .

Second..


Until then, keep issuing the invitations, ignore the guilt-trips, and if the entire family shows up to golf with your husband, so be it.

In the last sentence, what does "so be it" means?? Does it mean "let it be"?

Please help me out. I need your help.
