  1. From the trivia question What does the term "Parkade" mean?

    Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:39:05 -0000

    That’s the same thing in Canada. It can be a little confusing because we call both multi-level parking structures and the singular parking structures attached to a house a garage.

    Generally speaking though, if the word parking is used before garage it refers to the larger of the two.

    so: parking garage = multi-level structure garage =smaller single level often attached to a house.

    Mon, 19 Jan 2009 16:31:45 -0000

    I doubt you’ll like the answer, but it’s a case of semantics in which you have to pick the most correct answer.

    Acronym are specific type of abbreviation that uses the first letters of multiple words to shorten a phrase, and is pronounced as one word (NATO

    Technically are also initialisms, which again is the shortening of a phrase, but each letter is pronounced individually (MIA or HTML are examples of one of these). But not a lot of people bother to make this distinction.

    No, it’s different than the stars. Examples would included the aurora borealis and aurora australis.

    If you’d like to see how the chemical formula breaks down, I’d suggest reading this wikipedia article for more information.

  18. From the video Multiple Interpretations of Hamlet

    Mon, 29 Dec 2008 14:33:54 -0000

    If it weren’t for the fact that it was in blockbuster, I personally would have liked Hawke’s portrayal the best. But it could just be that I’m a fan.

    Oren – it’s kinda funny that you’re referring to Olivier as modern Shakespeare when the film was made in 1948. But I do suppose it’s all relative, and in comparison to when it was written it is modern.

  19. From the trivia question "The dog came in and shook his wet fur, with the result that the water went all over the kitchen, but instead of being mad, Grandma just laughed, since Barkley looked so apologetic". How many conjunctions were used in the previous sentence?

    Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:52:00 -0000

    Mathematician – why do you say that?

    A conjunction is a word that joins sentences or phrases together when they could be separate. In the above example: and, with, but, since are all conjunctions.

    We could rewrite the about like this: The dog came in. He shook his wet. This resulted in water going all over the kitchen. Barkley looked so apologetic. Because of this, instead of being mad, Grandma just laughed.

    What’s above is grammatically correct, but it doesn’t flow nearly as well as the sentence in the trivia question. That’s what makes conjunctions great!
