Seriously, so many of the questions/answers on here are a mess! Are people on here lazy or just stupid? I know I am opening myself up to a bunch of broken, slang english answers. I want an answer that doesn't have any text message/ AIM lingo. I have graded COLLEGE papers where students use terms, such as LOL and idk in their FINAL PAPERS! It's atrocious that our language is being slaughtered this way and it sounds really unintelligent. What are we teaching children these days?

I am a teacher. If the students have promblens, they have to raise their hands and wait for my hlep. However, Some of the students aren't patient. They would keep calling my name until I help them out. In order to make them quiet , I would say "If you call my name again, I will put you to the last one. "(I will help the student who keeps calling my name as the last one )
I wonder how will you say it as an native English speaker .
If possible , please provide some examples.
Thanks in advance.

I am looking up Chinese symbols for my daughter for a project she is doing for school, I am trying to find peace, it comes up with two symbols together and says it means peace but then I have found another site that talks about a woman being in a house means peace. I want peace as in calm, harmony, etc. I don't know if anyone can answer this question without a visual but please help if you know what I am talking about Thanks!

Istead of having at least 2 different dictionaries for the english language. Along with several different accents. Hundreds even. Why not have ONE world standard version of English? That way nobody gets confused anymore regaudless if they call something a flashlight or a torch, a lift or an elevator, a motor or an engine. Why don't we do this? It's feasable is it not? Can't we all pull this off?

Southerners brought the slave in (who by the way spoke no English) and then forbid them to learn the language. Then they spoke words like giiiiirrrrrll, which is actually girl, but sounded like gull to the slave ear. For years this was the language of communication among slaves so just as banks still close on Wednesday at noon ( the official day and time of slave trading) in the south. The language of the slaves continues due to tradition and this will be a hard tradition to break.

So the next time you hear someone in the south say the word dawg remember this is a descendent of those who involuntarily taught Ebonics to the slaves. So I ask you again, is the southern drawl bad English?

the phrase "Look at the quiz. Read only question 1. Circle your answer." has no any article with the word "question". I do not understand why. Why does the phrase "at the quiz" have one, but "only question" - has no? What are the similar situations when you use "null article" like this? It is a quite difficult issue for me since I'm Russian and we have another structure of a language which has no articles at all... By the way, has this question been composed correctly in a grammar point of view? Or, are there some things which look awkward or bizarre? Which ones? Sorry for being so verbose. Thanks by advance.
