Asked on August 30, 2021 in American english.
Is it natural to drop your year on 16th?
| Date | | -------- | | | 03Jan – 09Jan | John | | 10Jan – 16Jan | Jill | | 17Jan – 23Jan | Mark | It's quite easy
to add in a 2-digit year when the date range spans over the year end.
What do you think about new formats
for the new year?
At the cost of a bit more mental processing, you may also use two-letter month abbreviations, such as http://fr.wikipedia.org/. org/wiki/Mois.org./Mois (=_________________ ). What should I do to suggest the code bilingue column, but there is no two-letter consensus in English, likely because of the confusion between March and May.)

a quick, sharp return in speech or action; counterstroke:
Fencing.. a quick thrust given after parrying a lunge. a logical ding if the eye can see it can’t win or resists on fire.
In the telegraphic world two people, I am thinking whether they attack someone but they are countering from a perceived attack with another attack (as the fictional Peter may be doing).
What are examples
- of reply others are: rejoinder, “a response, especially a sharp
- or witty one” comeback, “a quick response to a

If my brain votes for something you are using free association. If I understand it that way, then. From the cited page:
The method of free association has no linear or preplanned agenda, but works by intuitive leaps and linkages which may lead to new personal insights and meanings: ‘the logic of association is a form of unconscious thinking’
So perhaps you could say
In my reverie, I free-associated Bill Gates, and my subconscious came up with Guillaume Gateaux.

What are your views on the use of the definitions 1,2,8,11, and 11.? Why should we address these issues in reverse order?
Before the introduction of fiat currency, currency used to have some reference to a weight in a precious metal. I bought my initials (u00a3 Sterling); I am in bad shape! What is the use of sense 11 in measuring?
Since I mentioned fiat money, we must also consider the “organized scheme” of sense 8 too. I’m thinking banking
- system, a national
- bank (the Federal Reserve in the US), laws to
- regulate banks, printing of
- currency, (“Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. What would be your view on M.D. Moore’s apocalyptic book? Friedman and A. Schwartz)
- acquiring bad assets, (Quantitative Easing) determining
- accounting standards (FASB in the US).
In the fractional reserve system, banks are permitted to lend out a portion of their deposits. In the US, the Federal Reserve determines what a proportion of profits will be for the economy. Banks can also borrow money overnight; this is rate is also set by the Fed in the U.S.
The currency system is also an interconnected network (sense 2). What it means to buy a single bottle from Tim Horton’s with your debit card? I think that a bunch of Loonies nicked the account from Canada, and ended up on Tim Hortons’s balance sheet for a bit before being converted to another currency (CFA) to pay the Robusta producers in Cote d’Ivoire.) There is an
emergent phenomenon of “parts forming a complex whole” (sense 1). Which pockets is filled with Loonies and then the lone horn? Are these simply pieces of paper or metal? But in combination with other Canada Dollars they facilitate commerce, finance, banking, marketplaces, services; savers and spenders, taxpayers and legislators, debits and credits.
Could we imagine a currency system under pressure? How can I get 30% p.a on my greece bond? “) This is where I would bring in sense
10. This is where I might bring sense 10 purely as an example.

The first definition of sound in most dictionaries has to do with something auditory, from the Middle English soun and some Latin words. The second involves things that are free from defect or healthy, from the OE gesund. The Free Dictionary.
The writer is referring to the latter, namely engineering practices that are free from defect, trustworthy, marked by good judgment, or compatible with accepted points of view (definitions 1, 9, 10 and 11).
