Something about yourself!

surprises me that they're willing to risk marching double-reeds (the bassoons). our oboe and bassoon players were switched to different instruments during marching season. if you fall, there's really nothing to stop the two little wooden reeds from slicing directly through your palate.

it's in the name. kale, cauli, kohl, cole are all just the same word, meaning cabbage.

- cauliflower: cabbage flower
- coleslaw: cabbage slaw
- kohl: cabbage in german
- kål: cabbage in norwegian, swedish and danish

english mile: 1.60934 km
norwegian mile (mil): 11.3 km in the past, 10 km now
germany had like 100 different standards for the mile (Meile)

it's because what came before the comma is not a part of the list. what came before it was a non-restrictive relative clause that provided additional information about Terry. this type of relative clause is always surrounded by commas.

but that wasn't the original meaning?

the commandment was specifically not to misuse the name Yawheh. some claim it's a commandment to not perjure or lie, as you would essentially invoke the name to assert that your statements were true.

you were not use the name in a vain (empty, shallow) attempt to give your lies more credibility.

guessing because of all the italian immigrants many of us just pronounce the s like a zh sound closer to the root italian word parmigiano.

someone that 'literally' means 'literally' whenever a native english speaker says that word. it's just plain incorrect and doesn't help.

language evolves. instructing someone that this is correct contemporary usage of 'ambivalent' is incorrect. just like if you were to tell ..

now if you could just teach where to properly place 'ikke' in all types of sentence fragments ... ;P

'felt so conflicted' or maybe 'had such conflicting emotions'. ambivalent is more 'i don't really care about these things'.

http://lar5.com/cube/. it will take you a few hours to solve the first time. second time will probably be at most half that... then minutes.
