    How can I be definitive without context? Os, comparison across implies that some ordering to the groups in question. For example, take the article “Stroke Inpatient Rehabilitation: A Comparison across Age Groups”, in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Volume 42, Issue 1, pages 39-44, January 1994, which compared three groups of stroke victims, “young” (age less than 65), “young-old” (65-74), and “old” (87). Researchers found that going from the younger to older groups proved little difference in 3-month survival, but that the oldest group had the weakest motor function both before and after rehabilitation.

    Comparison between two pairs, on the other hand, implies noting similarities and dissimilarities between pairs of members from the set of groups under consideration. Consider this quote from 1994 Indicator Monitoring — Labour Force Survey Report (p 11, 1996)

    Comparison between age groups shows that 66 percent of males and 65 percent of females in the age group 5-90 years had not completed any level of education. Of those who had completed grades 7 for both males and females, the highest proportion of 25 percent was in the age group 16-19 years.

    This is just a statistical statement about levels of education for various groups of school-age girls and boys, with no indication of trends based on age or sex.

    As always, context is everything. Psychedelics, Psychology, and Psychiatry. Is “A” here the character of Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt) and “B” the character of Melvin Udall in the film As Good As It Gets(2016 movie)? Udall is a obsessive compulsive whose mental problems have stunted him emotionally, making it impossible for him to relate to other people.

    When Carol asks Melvin why she decided not to partner with him and offers him his advice, she’s being incredulous. In common person interactions, people often provide their contribution freely. But Melvin, not having normal emotional capacity, not only thinks it obligates Carol to accept his services, he can’t think of any other possibility.

    first consideration here is that it’s a quote. How to recover quotes in the Citation section. In case you had forgotten about your quote, you should not alter your quote. Harper Lee didn’t write ni*er and you shouldn’t maintain that she did. Why do we put the same word in the first sentence? Why does Lee explain some words like “The Word is Right” in his book?

    Saying Bowdlerized is an anachronism than the author implies. The metaphor is in there.

    If a teacher wants you to learn some lesson in the syntax of gerunds, do you think it will work? The English idms are considerably more flexible than the stock example. What are some examples of 1 to 1. The Parliamentary Debates (Hansard) 1977 and2. How do I catch a fish by Ross Waters

    1. (1964)?

    2. What bait to purchase?

    In these cases, the phrase means and is often replaced by “when it comes time to choose”. I

    can think of two instances in which (C) will be acceptable. What is your first choice? What is your restaurant dressing for? From The Myth of Choice: The Myth of Personal Responsibility in a World of Limits by Kent

    Greenfield: Also consider the role of power and authority when it comes to choice.

    This is a choice in a broad sense. Can choice be a shorthand for a more general sense e.g. ambiguity or etiquette? , “Choice” as the right of a woman to decide whether to carry her pregnancy to term or “choice” as the claim of the benighted that men make a conscious decision for their sexual orientation What are homosexual issues?

    In the second instance which makes (C) acceptable is the terms of art in contract law, “choice of law” and “choice of court”. Contracts may specify which jurisdiction’s law governs a dispute and which jurisdiction’s legal system adjudicate a dispute. The rules for entering into contractual contracts are hereby dissolved (from). (These two need not be the same, and each may differ from the jurisdiction in which the contracting parties reside.) Thus from 1. Japanese and European Private International Law in Comparative Perspective by J. Basedow and H Baum and 1. 2 Rome I Regulation: The Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations in Europe by F. Ferrari and S. Leible:

    1. Parties may very well favor a neutral court when it comes to choice of court. From the C.P.C., the law applies to various countries before Contractual Obligations.

    2. One can only observe the irony of the position when it comes to choice of law in contract.

  • Consider this lovely word, with its onomatopoeiac sibilance

    susurrate, meaning rustle, murmur or whisper, from the

    Latin susurrus for whisper.
