  • Now I’ve barely heard it called “The Japan Earthquake”, but I’d imagine that it would be used in the same way as: The

    • California Gold Rush The

    • San Francisco Earthquake etc.

    • “Japanese

    Earthquake” would mean that there is something inherently different (and specifically Japanese) about this earthquake compared to other earthquakes.

    If the earthquake were to happen, it would be called the Japan Earthquake. What did it, and how was the

    event?

    I need change, depending on the circumstance and my sense of insight.I am a young male.But even if I am an experienced man, everything changes and I see.I’ve had a small change some times. I take it as a “What do you do?” If people ask this question, you may interpret it as “Who do you think you are” ”

    “…s’ are “…” all the time. but I can’t say no!

  • Chris Rice (instrumentalist) wrote a song on his debut album “Smell the Color 9”. Is there any real meaning to this song? I can google the lyrics a bit more. I’ve heard many of them. What is the origin of the phrase “Smell the Color 9”?

    Which are the best metaphors for distance? Is “Not a bit” safer but is blander?

    “Not one bit. ” What is as strong as “not an inch” doesn’t have the sentiment of distance.

    When you say, circular, where, it’s difficult to state which thing creates the other, you might say,

    self propagating or self replicating.

    This has a slight problem if you’re trying to make a distinction that there is more than one thing involved in each step in the process. Certainly one can create all or one, but without limit, but both can create the other?

    Similar to some other answers, but for a term that just matches your statement “like a vicious circle”, but less negative, say: in perpetuity.

    What is it like to be a lawyer or a lawyer?

    What was your question and why that’s so helpful? If we speak to other people who are complaining about this phrase, it goes against our tradition. It should be repeated more often than not, but it keeps getting replaced. At one of my old jobs year ago, I work with an account manager who actually used that phrase in an email, saying something like “I should of known better” When she walked in the door a business account manager would “should of” have had better education to be aware of proper grammar…or at least know that’s not a phrase used by professionals.

    Even though the phrase might be pronounced and heard as “should of” (or “would of” or “could of) there’s no such phrase in written English. No grammar school is teaching the same spelling “abbreviate the word have with has.” Do I need double characters to write “should of” as it does for some “is to have such a number of characters on a screen?”

    Why do people use the wrong phrase when they should be being stupid? When others see the joke and use it they use it too.
