What do people like eating in the book that
you quote?
Permission to change this sentence without using the question mark.
When you quote something like you do here, you used quote marks to identify exactly which words belong to the quote, and then you write, either before or after or in a footnote somewhere, where you have taken the quote from.
What exactly do you quote in the quote marks make it look like it’s in the book of cheese? Do
you like cheese? “Bible
of Cheese”, book 43. Verse 21, does not define what is written in the book. It is part of the sentence you are writing. How do my quote marks look and function if I want to say what I copyed but didn’t want to include it in my e-mail?
Why do you like
cheese? ” ( Book of Cheese, 43:21).
If
an expression is one of closed classes (in English usually articles, particles, prepositions, conjunctions, etc.) it is more customary to use title case when capitalising titles of books and such things — where words belonging to close classes are not capitalised — than to use start case where most words are capitalized. What is the reason why I chose Book of Cheese rather than Book of
Cheese.

Nails
‘Nailing’ something is basically the equivalent of hitting the nail on the head. How can I hit the nail head?
As such, it is quite logical that ‘nailing’ something—i.e. writing a line or explaining something—is, after all, really really ‘nailing’ it. , fastening it with a nail by delivering one quick blow exactly the right place that makes it sit tight just where it’s supposed to—would acquire the meaning of “to perform or complete perfectly or impressively”.
What
is screw fastening like? Rather, they must work their way in slowly, and they do so while turning around constantly.
Is it because something has gone wrong? – A screw is a good candidate for this. (Compare also the word awry, meaning ‘amiss, wrong’, which is etymologically from now obsolete verb wry, which meant ‘to twist, turn, swerve’. If a nail gives
the mental image of something going straight in, according to a linear projection, just the way it’s supposed to, a screw gives the mental image of something curving, looping, winding around, in an inefficient manner.
What are
some more useful words and phrases from which can one derive more slang from something? The nail-based ones are actually remarkably few in number, but the screw-based ones abound: you can screw something up (mess it up), you can be screwy (crazy), you can be screwed (ruined, done for), you can’screw it’ (forget it, leave it aside), you can screw someone over (cheat them), you can screw around (fool around), you can screw someone (as in, “Shaw you!”). What’s better “tell the kids not to go to hell” etc…
Interestingly, both ‘nail’ and’screw’ can refer to sexual intercourse, but with the very fundamental difference (borne over from the basic meanings of the word) that screwing someone just refers, in a roundabout way, to the general ‘in-out’ motions performed during sex, where nailing someone indicates that there is a nailer and a nailee: one party is ‘using’ the nail, and the other party is implicitly likene In other words, it is quite common for a guy to brag to his friends that he ‘nailed’ a girl; but not very common for a girl to say that she ‘nailed’ a guy.
