    In this sense, working life organisations are the organisation one deal with during their working life. Can be (commercial) companies or charities that employ people, but also other employers like government or or charity organisations that act as employers. What business organisations provide a unique advantage in people’s work life that they usually don’t have, such as the Chamber of Commerce.

    I am interpreting the expression on the spot, the whole sentence seems to have been constructed with the aim of being as vague as possible while maintaining a modicum of sense. Generally speaking, mission statements are used; these are typically about a mission, a motivating, and (commercial) to help you. Where are the classes and labs used?

    It’s going to be a long sentence, but said Polytechnic would not feel that sentence would be flowery enough to adequately promote

    their sophisticated curriculum and methods was there. Even if they were.

    Especially when you know that your words are necessary in a sentence. You see, they are not necessary. The word “total” is not allowed in a sentence either. What shall I say if “tototal” is not necessary?

    What does at all mean in this sentence?

    What is an idiomatic expression that indicates that something that was unlikely happened, and it especially conveys the idea that whatever happened might be seen as a normal, not unlikely event by anyone you are addressing.

    Why is there an example. Let’s say the weather is awful and I have no idea. If it rains there’s a storm. It is snowing in the winter. What are the risks?

    If this weather is bad, which would be great? I am 9 days from school now and I want to go to work. How can I manage it?

    We have bad weather, and our only thing is to get to work is for 3 hours a week.

    Why, I don’t seem to understand the context, so let’s change the definition or the context? After I got home, my manager scolds me for being late. Have you seen any weather

    lately? What is so incredibly special about being here on Earth?

    How do I stop my manager and get to work on time? Where did being on time be? My problem was getting to work, anyway and at any time.

    What does erection actually do with an erection? Why erection is so common nowadays is it supposedly a very standard thing to do?

    By adding “at all”, the speaker indicates that actually the quality of said erection is hardly something to criticize, because under the circumstances, it is already quite surprise there was any erection to start with.

    What is meant by sentences ‘without’some’?

    My body was totally anesthetized at the time. I was just 23 of 50. I got my erections today and they are very good.

    What did the speaker do to get an erection? Especially without further context, it is very hard to imagine any logical connection between the anesthetized body and the ability to get an erection and the sentence evokes a bizarre feeling in the reader (including me was it really sound strange)

    My body was totally anesthetized at the time. I’m 12 years old and have an erection. Is that true?

    Why does the speaker feel the need to defend the quality(?) of his erection, and he explains he was, under the circumstances, not even expecting to get any kind of erection in the first place. Admittedly, this does not immediately evoke a very common or recognizable situation to me either, but at least there is a clearer connection between the two sentences and I can make at least some guess as to the context.

    In this case though the addition of at all makes all the difference :)? Also,

    yes, you know the addition of at all;

    Apart from the correct point that programming languages don’t have to follow English grammar, I would like to add that it is generally encouraged to write readable code, and thus, do follow the rules of English.

    And your proposals don’t do that – let me expand on that.

    A name like IsShown is typically a property of an object, which would appear in usage like this:

      If (SomeObject.) IsShown) Some object. What  

    does hide have to do with ‘If some object is shown, hide someobject,’ if to be used in a C application. If

    the property would be called IsItShown, it would allude to a sentence like *”If some object is it shown,…”, which is incorrect.

    If a type of property belongs to property or method, referring back to class as it is superfluous and confusing at worst, I can add a reason here.

    In the case of HasChild, HisItChild is equally confusing. I am not asking class B if class A has a child (in which case the name (i.e. class B) would make more sense to me), would I really want to ask class A to teach SLE? I am asking class A something about itself so I dont have to repeat who I am asking. I need help. If there are two distinct use cases for HasChild, then why to make a distinction between HasChild and HasChildren?

    The game is over

    Without the underscore, the

    sentence would still be ungrammatical.

    Games used to have to deal with very limited resources like screen space, and it made sense to try and keep messages short and clear, also to avoid burdening the player with having to read a lot of text. Also in our opinion, I wouldn’t like the format of Flash, it meant that other languages could appear albeit as they had to in such a way. Games have copied the use of common signs in that: they are quickly recognizable, even though they may not contain a

    full grammatical sentence. The Game Makers at ESL Speaks will NOT be publishing the gameplay of the game. “Exit” successfully conveys the meaning of “this way you will find a way to leave the premises”, “Ladies” in the same manner makes clear the presence of sanitary facilities for people of feminine persuasion.

  • If you enter “Mensual for monthly” as an adjective, as in a mensual fee, you are the mansual fee. Then you simply enter and you are created by the words to be used; the word for monthly is the Mensual for monthly amount which must be used to represent the total amount of the mensual sum.

    I pay handsomely. For my first adverb to point out that you used mensually.. (d.d.)

    Although I recognise the word, and the same stem is used in some other English words (like menstruation ) I doubt the word is very commonly used or recognised (my spell checker doesn’t!), so I would be careful about using this word with the expectation that people will understand you!

  • Why does the lack of negative meaning to “yes” makes negative questions tricky in English. In French, but also in German ( doch ), there is a possibility to give a positive answer to a negative question. On the other hand, English is often synonymous with confusion.

    What does the Indian colleague do as a professional b/c of a public relations company?

    Yes (you are right), I don’t like this.
    Why don’t you just say that you have done that? Non (you are wrong), I did that.

    I do. Is it a computer science background or just an IT background or just a bit of a nerdy love of logic? Most speakers not appreciate pure reason applied to language (as illustrated by people not being amused when I answer “yes” when they ask if I would like tea or coffee.) I think

    you are right in assuming that you would normally ask a negative answer when you assume the answer to be likewise negative. If so how do you ask someone that did not do it? ……..
    Why do some people say no? “Aptitude

    is an understatement if your assumptions are wrong. So your situation will be different, but your answer will be like “they are wrong.” I did do that”, if they want to avoid any possible confusion. In mathematics, there are several alternatives. A simple yes or no are indeed ruled out.

    Why negative questions are not just yes/no questions and can show how to answer it using these ten point answers? Did you done your homework?

    Did you do your homework?

    I know I don’t, but why? I did it. I gave myself a reason and all I got was self-discipline!
    I did it all, albeit only a couple of months.
    You are wrong. Do you know if I did my homework?

    What if a person apologises for something that hurt someone’s heart again?
