When talking about a road that one can use, it's open to drive on, etc, I think one should say A PASSABLE ROAD and not " a practicable road" . PRACTICABLE means "feasible" and it's not correct in this sense. Am I right?

The sentence is 'She___ into the room quietly so that no one would hear her.'

I have to complete it with one of these words, either 'crept' or 'wondered'. My first choice was crept, but seeing as 'to creep' already implies to walk very slowly and quietly, I thought it was a pleonasm. So which word is best? Why?

I have heard that, in order to understand Chinese, you must learn at least 3,000 characters. How big of a keyboard would that be?

Our keyboard is about a foot long, and we have 26 letters, so a Chinese keyboard must be about 115 feet long!

But seriously, how DO they type Chinese?????

I am transfering to a university next summer and I have to take four classes of one lanuage. I am awful at lanuages and I have thought that I will try the easiest lanuage. I will also add I have learned a little spanish, but I don't care for it b/c I can't get the rolling of the tounge down. So what other lanuages would be easiest. I have thought about Latin.

It's funny how life works sometimes...a couple months ago I didn't know it would be this hard to lose you. Now that I looked inside myself and allowed myself to begin to love you, I don't know how to let that go. My mother doesn't know what she is talking about, and I told her last night I was moving out and now I feel as if maybe it has all been for nothing. Not nothing, because I now realize how I feel about you and that you are the one that makes me happy, the one that has always been there...but it hurts so much to let it go. Part of me is jealous of Gloria, because now you are going back to her and its because I questioned myself and my feelings...and I realize that now I am too late and I will never know what could have been or should have been, and that breaks my heart. After this, I am going to stop talking about it, I don't want you to suffer anymore then you already have. I'm sorry for all the pain I have caused you, maybe life is giving me back all the pain I caused

I'm hoping to live in Japan once I finish school. I bought myself a "Tech Yourself Japanese" set with book and audio CDs. Is it best for me to stick with this method of learning japanese first or will it be best for me to start teaching myself their written language right now? not romanji. I know for a fact I won't be in a city or college setting for me to practice japanese with others for 2 years. I'm not as passionate as I used to be about the language. Sometimes I think of giving up and just switching back to spanish which I have come a ways in because I know how to relate new vocabulary back to something I've known for years but with japanese everything is new. Everything. All is welcome.

I'm looking for the word in italian for a showcase or vitrine (like the glass unit at a jewelry store or the glass front of a haute couture boutique). I could only find 'FINESTRA', which means window, not really showcase or vitrine. Thanks!!!
