I know it means a mild autumn. Where did the term originate?

it seems, with my very limited knowledge of the subject, that japanese songs - it's mostly pop songs/anime themes i've heard - do not rhyme, as american and british songs tend to. am i missing something, or is this just a different evolution? how long has this been going on (if it's been going on, at all)?

I mean, I got a "C" in English throughout High School (only because I was stoned most of the time), but still know the difference between "your" and "you're."

Is the English language changing, or does anyone care anymore that they spell like a retard?

Before I joined the Army, I spoke straight California surfer. Since being posted in Kentucky, however, I have started to pick up a noticeable Kentucky twang. I'm not trying to fit in, or anything, it's just kinda happening. What's with that?

My cousin is a garderner working with my father. he is studying english at night school.. and in his homework there are idioms he must learn but, i don't see the point of learning a bunch of idioms that only outgoing Americans have mastery and tradtion of using.
Here's an example:
-squeaky clean
-shaggy
-the pigtail set ( referring to young girls)
-cliche

etc etc. the only people i ever here using this kind of words are white people or acculturated americans, fiction books. I was born here in usa but i never ever use any of these idioms, the only American people i have contact with are in work related settings. It's a stupid thing to waste time with idioms when students are not realy ever going to be part of white people's culture or be bookworms. And also his class is english second level..it's not like an advanced class or anything. "cliche" when do I ever use that? my god.

Is there anyone interested in helping a young underprivileged girl to try to do something with her life? I am a girl who is trying to go back to school for Spanish Language and Literature and I hope to be able to do that and study abroad too someday...that has always been my dream...at this point, whether it be Spain, Mexico, or Puerto Rico would be fine with me...but i have to go back to school for the thing that I have always wanted to pursue. I know that there are so many programs, scholarships, grants, aid, funding, help, etc. for underprivileged people, it just sometimes takes some research and I am doing my part daily, believe me, but I figure I would let the internet do some of the research as well. Sometimes even there are senior citizens who would love to donate to underprivileged young people who are trying to do something with their lives, and it may be in a part. field, but either way, there are opportunities for help out there...i am seeking it, it just needs to be found..

I live in california, and in most free english courses in community colleges or highschool night classes there are lots of mexicans/hispanics.. but sometimes there are a few asians too.. I don't understand, why do some asians go to pay schools if there are free classes available?

"Bent out of shape" basically means to be angry or annoyed, but would you agree that it is commonly used in situations where the anger is unnecessary, inappropriate or out of proportion?
There are exceptions, I would say, but the expression seems to be most common in those kind of situtations. Do other people feel that "bent out of shape" carries this inference? Thanks much!
